Will not answer the door, can’t catch him coming in and out, won’t answer calls, texts, emails.

The verbiage I got from my local lender regarding  acquiring  multiple owner occupied conventional loans was something to the tune of "the first loan is no problem, the 2nd is harder, and the 3rd is nearly impossible to get residential rates as banks will catch on to what you are doing and force you into a commercial loan rate".I imagine there are others out there that have been able to house hack their way to acquiring a couple of properties using conventional loans without being forced into commercial rates.Thoughts?

If you recall, the cost of living had risen sharply over a fourth-month span from June to September, but it was mostly just catching up after a steep decline in prices early in the pandemic.

I am still itching about catching this seller's market.

The catch is that you can not benefit from your property. 

As you happily skip home, you hit the  magical Loan Jackpot - you catch a leprechaun!

Especially if they initiate in advance and without prompting.When a renter indicates they are struggling, offer to create a payment plan that will allow them to catch up.

Catching it before plumbing is involved (if concrete) can save a lot of money on tunneling.

The catch is that the flip would be an out of state property with little way to supervise the work other than having a few friends in the area.

We're working on getting who we suspect is the problem tenant out but it's challenging in the eviction moratorium environment without catching them dead-to-rights selling drugs.
