So neither I or them are obligated to stay.

My fear is if we don’t buy now in SF soon and instead use money to invest elsewhere we will get priced out of owning in SF (we have 2 kids and we know we want to be in SF long term) I am a stay at home mom but my hope is to get a job in real estate so I can learn.

I still had 10 months in contract and was thinking that i can rent out the full duplex while staying in my apartment.

The first night she stayed there she said she had bedbugs.

A trusted mortgage broker told me that if I stay in a my second property for at least one night, I can consider it a secondary home versus investment property and therefore get a better interest rate. 

I stay away from the MLS when doing Subject To's because of those facts.

I plan on staying in the master bedroom and renting out the 2 other bedrooms to help with the mortgage. 

This is probably a really really basic question but I have 2 people who are friends, interested in sharing a room. 1 of them will be leaving in a couple of months, but the other one would stay.

It is great to meet another Chicagoan doing 203k — I just sent you an invite to connect, would love to stay in touch!

I strongly recommend you stay conservative with your Analysis.
