I know one of the main qualifiers is it has to be owner occupied - which is fine.Will there be any issues with this second purchase being in the same town as my first MF home?

I learned this lesson the hard way when I bought my first investment property off market.You need tenants who stay for many years, pay rent on schedule, and take good care of the property.

Pace Morby and others have groups/books/podcasts/etc on this topic. 

Curious whether you have solved this yet?

Early in my career, this really bit me in the tush and I am seeing many investors walking right into the same trap.

Or also telling me hey even though you like it this is not a good deal, or location, or whatever. 2w ago I messaged to see a property but they were out of town for two days and then I was. 10d ago I asked about seeing another property which wasn't available to look at until this week.

This seems very appealing due to the monthly saving cost when compared to a heloc or other loan options.

This market calls for patience and perhaps a little extra negotiation savvy, but for those who lean in, it’s packed with potential.Sellers, hang tight!

This was on Labor Day and I got a call from the neighbor with this picture.

This approach has worked well for us so far.
