Owner occupied.I’m active duty Air Force so I used my VA loan to purchase additional properties as I moved.

well you know BP being the monster it is these threads will go to the top of google when people search for background on Kris.. so yes she is going to come out guns blazing.

This contract shall give instructions to record the underlying deed (showing the buyer "you" as the owner on public record) once the equity payments and subject to mortgage balance is paid off in full on a undisclosed date, or, if both parties prematurely sign the executory contract prior to mortgage balance being paid off in full/ and/or the equity payments full paid.   

You should also have your Commercial Real Estate broker request loss history from the prior owner (not the wholesaler).  

I have approached the owner and I offered him the option of seller finance.

I am still working on figuring out all the avenues of finding a deal and will plan this week to do some drive-bys and find some homes in which I can write a letter to the owner seeing if any of them are interested in selling their home even if they are not on the market. 

Seller wanted to dispose property off market since there was a murder in the home in 2019.Home overall is relatively turnkey, Previous owner built a custom deck in the backyard, installed new countertops, HVAC 2020, Roof 2019.

When the majority property owners sit and run the board, things are sketchy, which I found out six months in. 

The reason I think this works is many of the sales will be to owner occupants and that's what create neighborhood stability.

Hey BP,I'm considering buying a property to first owner-occupy, and later rent out in the Bay Area.
