Since Ohio is a deficiency judgment state, I don't believe lenders would be willing to waive the right to obtain judgments against the borrower in the event a foreclosure sale doesn't cover the full amount owed. 

I should have kept it as a rental but it never even occurred to me at the time (almost 25 years ago). 

Beyond the Monthly Management, Placement & Maintenance fees, all other fees in our contract are IF EVENT -> THEN fees.

Check out the Events tab at the top to find local and virtual meet ups.Lastly, I agree with the comments above regarding FHA loans for househacking.

I want to start a monthly meet up for active & aspiring investors in Salt Lake where we come together to bounce ideas off one another, connect through conversation, and keep each other motivated in our investing goals.I started a Facebook group called "Utah Real Estate in the Park" for this purpose after getting a lot of hits on a post I made asking who would be interested in this idea, but no one commits to the events I create. 

No damage occurred, and we got a ton of rain and this is the only time it has happened.
