Guru speak.1.

Again, speak to the housing office. 

If you're speaking about auction, like at the courthouse steps, there is a lot of work involved with researching liens, etc.  

I have 2 former primary's one from spouse now valued @90k rented for 16 yrs @800 and a mortgaged (176k balance and 15yrs to go) Luxury condo @300k leased @2k.

I've always been against being far from my properties, but I feel like my playing field has been shuttered so to speak.

I am looking for one as we speak...we have located 2 potential contractors.

I did speak with CNB last year and like their portfolio loans and you are correct they are the best in the area.

If chapter 7, the bankruptcy trustee may be the one you need to speak with about selling, as they have control over assets in the estate at that point.  

This number varies with the more and more people that I speak with and I am curious what most of the BP members are experiencing.

Generally speaking, they tend to present the best opportunities for buy & hold investments in our market and are a FANTASTIC way to begin building your portfolio.As for your questions:The FHA's owner-occupancy (OO) requirement does stipulate that the buyer must reside in the property (or one if its units) as their primary residence.
