He also mentioned the idea of buying your first property as an owner occupant.

I don't understand, you can't house hack very well if you are purchasing under an business or LLC since you lose the mortgage and tax benefits of owner occupancy, so I assume you have neither.  

THEY DON'T DO HOMEWORK ON THE HOUSE THEY BUY, THEY THREAT OCCUPANTS IN HOUSE. 

They may not be thrilled about giving some of it, but worth asking:Physical occupancy vs. economic occupancyRecent CapEx itemsAny known upcoming CapExAny open code violations or tenant complaintsBackground checks of current tenants

If you sell to an owner occupant you might get market, however if you sell it with tenant in place for another 10 months, you may be giving up the property as a slight discount to another investor. 

@Mark WurtembergWhat is your occupancy % like?

I think you’re smart getting into the market and as an owner occupant, why not get as many units as possible to defray your cost of living! 

It is intimidating at first because of the HOA requirements, special assessments, owner occupancies, caps on rentals...etc.

That's where this gets to be an art more than a science.I heavily document things with pictures and/or video before tenant occupancy.

You need to meet minimum requirements to use them, you must be an owner occupant, you need about 3.5% down payment.
