Ask them if you should obtain an exclusive contract on the moon while you are at it.

My question is do most people use owner occupied FHA exclusively for duplexes or can you use it for single family properties (for investing purposes)?

I have been almost exclusively buy 'n hold multi family in Silicon Valley for 20 years. 

I did this deal on my own and because I BELIEVED it was a good deal, not because anyone told me it was a good deal.Right before the holiday I closed on a duplex in Bellflower, CA. 

Actually probably three day deal because Jan. 1 is a holiday. 

If you negotiate one, is it an exclusive option?

Speaking of other agents, consider asking your buyer for a non-exclusive buyer's agreement or at least ask if they have any agreements with other agents in the area "so you know what not to send."  

Might be nothing due to federal gov't if estate total value is below the exclusion amount in place for the year of death. 

My concerns:1) My condo has always been treated with pesticides over the years, I am worried his dog maybe allergic to the pesticides used in the apartment. 2) Accidents do happen and the pet may release herself  on the floor, I have very basic laminate floors and I am worried the whole apartment will smell like pet urine one day.3) My insurance policy has a pet exclusion clause, so maybe that is another sign to say NO to the tenant with pet?    

Do a non exclusive option for the amount of money they owe.
