Moving in personally is not required *IF* the deal makes sense after the relocation fees are paid.

I just read into buying multi units via FHA the other day and did read about the max number of units I just figured there were ways around it even if it meant putting down say 7% vs. 3.5 but if that were the case I guess it would still make more financial sense to stay with the 3.5 on a 4 unit.

that makes total sense, thanks for the advice.

;)Inspection time is negotiable, 10 days is common, but you can ask for more or less days.

As for my thoughts on it, I'm not a fan of investing in something that isn't going to cash flow, but if you have really good reason to think it will gentrify, it may make sense.

I'm willing to invest wherever the numbers make sense.

Not sure what line of work you're in, or what level you're at, but it is pretty common these days for companies to be paying for relocation and/or a short-term housing allowance for new employees who have to move.

In all cases, assume property management because at some point it will make sense to turn it over.

I say go for it if the dollars make sense.

My question is- since I find the deals, should I wholesale these deals to either of these funds or does that not make any sense?
