So he does not plan on moving out anymore and will stay until the remainder of his lease.

I have a 3 flat in Lincoln Park, Chicago, IL that I am planning to list for sale in the next 3-6 months.Currently owner occupied in 1 unit (Duplex up, 3 bed 3 bath).The other 2 units (2 bed 1 bath each) are rented.I am wondering if it is more attractive to buyers to leave the 3 bed 3 bath unit vacant when I move out, or should I place a tenant in there and then list for sale?

My fiancé and I currently own a SFH in the Salem area but we're looking to move up to Portland in the next couple years. 

I am currently house hacking a property and planning on moving out and renting out completely.

Yeah, the shape restrictions are why I've moved away from murphy beds.

I recently moved out to care for my parents for an indeterminate time, 60 miles away.

This approach allowed us to move quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project stayed on track.

I'm not sure what else to do, but we have a month before the new tenant moves in and we'd like to get something done that is cost effective (not tearing out the ceiling again :).

How many years must I live in the property before I can buy and move into a new one?

Make sure to factor in all expenses, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management costs.Once you've found a suitable property that meets your criteria, make an offer and move forward with the purchase process.
