@Benjamin Herhold yep it works, the issue is most lenders require you to move in within 60 days of purchase, and with proper disclosure requirements/notices/etc. you can't guarantee that you will be in within 60 days on an owner move in with a tenant-occupied property. 

It's no guarantee but it's a good place to start.

Appreciation is nice, if only it were guaranteed. 

I suspect that I would likely have to guarantee the loan personally...Financing through my CU would be easiest but that would mean the initial purchase would have to be a non commercial loan. 

BUT applying does not guarantee acceptance. 

I say when you get it, how much you get or if you get      it at allHowever, if I run a TV spot, radio spot, billboard or social media campaign stating if you invest with me, I GUARANTEE you 25% return on your money, every year!!  

That is  $25k plus deal with neighboring wells that I would pretty much guarantee don't have the 200 foot well liners so now we are talking probably another $12k for the well liners going deeper OR implement a self contained septic that I don't know much about. 

But of course there is no guarantee that they will not expand rent control to condos as well.I'm also curious, did you experience having a non-regulated building or apt that had to then become regulated in SF?

You will need to will need to qualify and they may require all the owners to sign and guarantee the loan.
