Selling at $278,999Should I keep the house on the market ( delay my move )  and keep it as my primary residence while I save to buy a multi-family? 

The biggest advantage of having a good buyers agent to me is the comps they know to better value your potential property, the digital offer PSA and connections to a good inspector and lender. 

So far so good but let's see if any of these other points are as close as they appear..NAR rules: good or bad for consumers? 

Good luck

If you reverse look up the address sometimes the residents names show up.Can’t you just serve the paperwork to “unknown occupants”?

There is a program offered by HUD called "Good Neighbor Next Door".

Now there are a couple of neighborhoods where I've sold more homes than any other relator and have a pretty good database of potential buyers and perhaps renters who could be buyers. 

Lenders often require a home to be in good condition, and an older or partially replaced roof might not pass inspection.

With a good credit we can get a loan (just have to find a good lender) and have money for downpayment.

Make sure that the property is allowable and that the returns are good.
