What you describe - a multi-unity where you can rent out one side and live in the other - does exist.

Do these issues exist in the Columbus, Cleveland and Indianappolis markets? 

Because there are existing trees, trying to work them into the entrances and landscapes.

I know the two year rule exists but the market is extremely hot and now would make the most sense to sell as opposed to hanging on as rental.

@Michelle VerdugoIt sounds like you got it.A refinance it taking an existing mortgage and "replacing" it with another mortgage for the same principal amount, the amount that is outstanding/owed. 

We bought the property last July and allowed the current tenants to finish out their existing lease (up in the fall), we figured they’d move on since they made no indication they wanted to stay....but both did not move out like I had assumed.

Who bought an existing business vs starting their own and did it turn out to be a good idea?

So I worked and talked to more people and met and agent that helped me use an (existing tenant) as income to get me approved high enough to put a 335k offer that the seller then accepted.

For all you know, she's smart as a whip and can easily afford $1800 but hasn't bothered to move because she enjoys her simple life.When you purchase with existing tenants, you should introduce yourself as the new Landlord on the day of closing.

Chuck Fowke, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), is quoted in the article as noting that “Despite strength in buyer traffic and lack of existing inventory, builders are slowing some production of single-family homes as lumber and other material costs, along with interest rates, continue to rise.”That said, over the 12 months we’ve seen a 36% increase in permits, but a delay in construction.
