I sold 2 building, and the security deposits and leases were transferred to new owner, as part of the purchase agreement terms.

So naturally I start trying to look in to owner info.

Having just received that check I come to find that all these extra fees have been deducted from the rent.Total Sept rent: $1675Fees from rent: Eviction court fees: $480Management company fees: $120Terminix, beehive: $189Energy bill: $1536 days rent: $334.98Total: $1276.98Total rent due to new owner: $398.02I did not keep on the management company at the time of closing.

IF it was not acceptable to do it that way, if I were willing to do an owner occupy multifamily (not thrilled with the idea but would consider it) would the gifted funds be acceptable then?

When I first interviewed(phone) with one of the owners everything looked great and communication didn't seem to be an issue.

I've posted on Zillow, Craigslist, military by owner, and trulia and hot pads off the Zillow listing.

My husband and I are owner occupying a 4 plex in San Diego CA. 2 units are rented, one is vacant. 

I am a new business owner of a fitness studio and have always been interesting in using real estate to earn passive income.

I visited the city assessor's office a few months back to find out who the owner was, turns out it was still listed under the previous owners name (a neighbor that personally knew).

well assuming it meets the QM rules for owner occ.. etc.the scenario you presented is not a very attractive note unless the discount was HUGEPV is what investor look at.... what rate of return they want and in notes its usually 8 to 12% APR but with 100% leverage most investors will only pay on face value about 60 to 70% LTV ... so right off the top you would be taking a substantial hair cut.No secret what your trying to do.. but I surmise you will very quickly realize its not realistic .. the discount would be such that it makes it a no go.If your thinking someone will lock up their money for 10 years at 5% well thats not going to happen especially at 100% LTV...
