I'll be moving into the other unit. 1.

@Brittany HeilI'm not certain if this applies to all markets, but our lender (and loan product) and property insurance company expected us to move into the Primary residence within 1-2 months.

For me to go through the due diligence myself and then if I did buy the property going through the zoning and permitting process probably takes more time than I would want to take and would rather deploy my capital elsewhere.

We are in the process of purchasing a home in Bremerton and we live in CA at the present time.

Option Payment is $2,000 and they put down $6,000 but eventually dont buy it or move out, it is as if it was just a normal rental, the money they put down wasnt lost but rather it reduced the monthly rent by $200 for those 2 years.

I was in property management in Jackson for about ten years before moving out of state for a career in education.

made an offer on a property only to find out later that one of the units was going through an eviction.tried to extend our inspection contingency to no avail to buy us some timeended up not being able to come to terms on how to proceed with sellerthe last HOUR of our inspection contingency the seller offers to try and buy out (cash for keys) the tenant the next day (he had a property manager handling the eviction and wasn't even aware of it initially).i get a (risky) oral agreement that even though the contingency window had passed, if the plan falls through my client will still get their EMD back the next day the seller ends up buying out the tenant for a bit over $3,000 and now we can move forward with the deal without the headache of a problem teanant/ picking up an eviction.

If they move they were moving anyway. 

The macroeconomics here has been amazing - lots of job growth and population growth along with big companies moving and developing here (Intel, Google, FB, Amazon, etc.).

Feel free to reach out anytime with any questions about the process !
