I like the idea of using the benefits of owner occupied to get a smaller MF that you can live in and have others pay the note.

You can either adjust your offer to match what the existing leases are, or walk, or ask the seller to try to get the tenants to sign new leases(which they don't have to so likely won't want to).

I wait to see if and how I can take advantage of this Promise Zone to benefit my RE investing.

That may be just for the mortgage company benefit, but may be worth reading that part of the closing documents again to see if it could help you.

@Ryan Steele I definitely intend to benefit from the study and work invested into Real Estate Investing for years to come.

Question: other than being able to look up properties on the MLS, how would getting licensed benefit me?

That being said, I am sure that there are many more more detailed 1 hour interviews with Ken that we all would benefit from.

And you get the benefit of having 50 past ones to catch up on.Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info.

As Tom Hopkins taught me, "The pain of change is forgotten once the benefit of change is realized."

I hear this is good, but what exactly are all the benefits?
