Hi Darren,I'm in a similar situation as you as my family is starting the journey in real estate investing as a proper business.

Jason,You have (90) days to occupy unless there is an "extenuating circustance" and renters unfortunatley fall under that reason so (Good & Bad) you would just have to show the proper procedures (court request to vacate) if the lender requests reason or letter of explanation.

You should also be able to confirm rental history, with proper precautions so that they don’t provide false references.

If so, you can give the notice before the end of Nov and make it effective on February 1st, 2022.I always recommend giving proper advance notice and raising the rent on the Lease anniversary every year.

I fail to get my family Christmas presents every year but this year everyone will be getting a different book on crypto, real estate and conscience with a fresh pair of socks. 

Generally speaking, I would post the proper notices according to state law and then start the clock ticking until you can officially treat it as abandoned. 

I’ve read a couple books that discuss the importance of this, is there any other way you’d recommend to learn how to properly assess and value properties?

The US's zoning obsession with only single family homes paired with NIMBY-ism and the decrease in available land means that desperately needed multi unit buildings will rarely be favored, thus the forever increasing march towards increased home values will continue unimpeded.

If you roll a pair of dice 1000 times, it's going to come back snake eyes very close to 1/36th of the time.November to February is always a bit interesting.

Needless to say, the new lease came with a rat clause that they could move them into an aquarium as proper pets or they had to go.
