Currently, I'm looking to dip my toes into personal investment - specifically, I'm very keen to learn more about the opportunity/technicalities involved with combination owner-occupied/rental properties and whether this is really a feasible arrangement or what the implications in getting financing for such a deal could be. 

Not sure how much she would need or if it's a feasible number to release before closing, but it is an option if an extension is needed.

not really feasible to pay for title If your going to be bidding on auction properties since maybe one out 50 actually go to auction.you need to be able to do this yourself.and of course out here on the west coast since all our title plants have been moved off shore we can get title date downs over the phone in about 90 seconds.. you guys have to use leg work UGH

It's it feasible?
