I'm Ranil Fernando from Ottawa, ON, Canada, passionate about real estate investing for last 6 years.

I want to know if I buy a four plex under an FHA, claiming that one of the units will be my primary residence, can I move somebody into the unit I claim as my residence and collect rent from them without issue? 

As a broker in Charlotte, I love everything that you can do in real estate. 

I am excited to keep learning and to start out in real estate investing.

There is an "STR loophole" and "Real Estate Professional status" - two unrelated tax concepts.

Commercial real estate loans have different requirements and terms, such as shorter terms and longer amortization periods.

I am also a fellow real estate investor so I understand the need to get things done on time and within budget. 

A good local real estate agent.Of course having a back-up to 1-4 above will help too.Thanks again

Proper notice is a real sticking point and over the last 10 years case law has rapidly evolved  concerning overturning sales due to notice issues amongst other factors.

Maybe you don't want to build the next great real estate empire, but continue purchasing more saavy investments every couple of years.
