'Abandoned as the term abandoned is defined by our courts, means the owner has intentionally given up all of his/her right to the property either explicitly or implicitly.   

I'm not a doctor, so I have no business trying to diagnose someone, but I think it's seems very likely that mental illness is the root of this issue and that he must be hallucinating.

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Ill use the average duplex in the area of NC I invest in and the average duplex In the areas of New Jersey I invest in as an example. you can buy a duplex in Onslow county NC for around $125,000 so your down payment using a FHA loan would be $4,375 and lets say $5,000 in closing costs total $9,375.

If you have no intention of using the property as a second home, then yeah, it's an investment and that's that (though some lenders offer better terms than others).  

This fulfills the owner-occupied requirement while also allowing you to get your foot in the door of real estate investing.Or is your intent to purchase a single-family home and then rent it out once you PCS away from El Paso?

@Mary MitchellThank you for confirming my intention!
