I am occupying the 4th room.  

Since you do not occupy the home you could buy another Primary with 3-5% down and again use the BRRR method. 

Indiana has a constitutional cap on our taxes.  1% for homestead exemption houses and 2% for non-owner occupied homes (rentals and secondary homes).After I select the state I would start dialing in on specific counties, cities, and ultimately neighborhoods.  

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $5,000 Sale price: $347,000 I bought a turnkey to occupy.

The only thing dropping are occupied buildings in NYC.

My latest find is a Tri-Plex built in 1979 that is currently fully occupied. 

Let them know that the persons occupying the house are not authorized to be there, they are not in possession of a lease issued by you as the owner or any agent of yours, and that you believe fraud and other illegal activities are occurring there.

You can qualify for a crazy low down payment FHA loan and decent interest rates on an owner occupied duplex.

We may be putting a (very first ever) offer on a “Tenants in place/occupied” property.

Despite the heat of the market right now, if you find a property that makes sense, to which you can offset your living expenses, and have cash flow later as an occupied rental, the answer seems obvious to me!
