That is:  a property which is intended to be sold for own-occupancy only - at least for some initial period of time.  

I will be moving out officially around the end of August and then renting it out.When should I start advertising it for rental prospects if occupancy isn't until beginning of September?

A financing contract is subject Dodd-Frank on any residence financed by an owner occupant, this also applies to land where a residence may be built..2.

It will make those properties harder to sell and will depress the selling prices.If all you own are SFH that you plan on selling to owner occupants, you may see little or no effect. 

We have our rental criteria as the first page of the applications, so that people who don't qualify often screen themselves out.You can't look at what type of family structure they have, but you can look at occupancy standards (total people), how long they have lived at addresses, how long they have lived in your community, intention to stay can probably be a question on the application, rental history, indications of fussiness or drama from interactions and social media, and of course the other things you would normally verify and screen for - income, criminal, credit, rental history.Decide what you want, write it down, and keep it consistent for each round of vacancies, adjusting it for the next round if needed.Good luck!

Comparing the property values versus occupancy forecasts and ADR (plus related expenses), the numbers really just did not pencil out.

You have the government guarantee on you rent and occupancy.

Direct mail to owner occupants is a loser unless you target specific groups.  

Account ClosedThe first 15 days are for owner occupants only. 

Hi Craig,On numbers 1 & 3, what you may be looking at here is "unauthorized occupants" and how to handle these, which may be part of the driver here.A couple of views.
