When you convert an investment property to your primary residence you only get to prorate the gain between “qualified use” (as your primary and tax free) and non qualified use (as investment and taxed).

Is the proposed non-owner financing achievable in this area?

Navy FCU was not offering a HELOC secured against an investment property (i.e. non-owner occupied), neither Wells Fargo nor the several small credit unions I called were "doing investment HELOCS right now".Details:  3/2 SFR.  

Non-Owner Occupied - so far, I was told that underwriter reqs for this one is at least 20% down (which I should be able to cover but was 'denied' due to the fact that some of the funds are coming from accounts that have less than 60 days of verifiable banking history?

My dad used to prefer renting stores to people needing offices because it's cleaner and insurance cheaper.

This could be a state specific question but in AZ we don't need any reason but we do have to give notice of non-renewal 30 days prior to expiration.

You'll probably need to tell them your concerns about insects, rodents, etc. and not renew unless they change just enough to get by and not run the cleaner tenants away.

I am doing a survey for NON Licensed Investors ONLY.   

There maybe other non financial factors that weigh into your decisions that must be considered.
