They are also successful at keeping properties occupied long-term with rental increases.Make sure you reach out to local landlords and feel free to send me a message here on BP if you have other questions.  

In this market, you may have luck with listing the property tenant occupied and still getting a handful of interested buyers.

If that's the case, the property would be considered an owner occupied property and not an investment property from a value standpoint which means a CAP rate won't apply in this circumstance. 

If you are looking to owner occupy a duplex you'll have to use FHA to take advantage of the low down payment. 

For the most part, foreclosure & eviction moratoria have gone away and it's mostly business as usual for us.Exceptions:Cook County, Illinois is still not setting foreclosure sales for occupied properties.

FHA loan is for owner occupied and you need to live there for a year. 

(only way to get relocation assistance is if the property is owner occupied if its vacant they won't get anything)Q:Should I pull Title before listing the property?

I will likely have upcoming appraisals for both tenant occupied rentals.

The property in question is in a low income boring neighborhood, 1 block away from very low income area, a block from the bus route, but for some reason it is a little street that has mostly owner occupied houses, that are kept up nicely, and it is a quiet street. 

After a year of living there, you can refinance into a conventional owner-occupied loan (they might require 20% equity but ask around) and use the FHA loan for your next purchase.
