21 years ago, I did EXACTLY what you mentioned in your first post.... bought a 2 family building in Brooklyn, lived in the basement and rented the other 2 apts, did not have cash flow but at least broke even.Back then, I bought the property for $340k with a Mortgage of $272k, fixed.That Mortgage is nearly gone and 21 years of rent appreciation has given me a very decent cash flow as the rents rose way above my mortgage and other expenses.This is NYC, it is normal for Market Rents to rise very consistently for a long period of time, barely dipping.That house is current worth $1.7 Million conservatively.

Chances are listing it on MLS and selling it to a handy owner occupant is her best case scenario, but exigent circumstances could exist.

Is there any chance of me obtaining my license?

@Paul Rush is it by any chance free?

A new or larger underlying loan increases the chance of being unable to fulfill this obligation.As the holder of legal title, you are theoretically able to pledge the asset to obtain financing.

They scrape along doing the bare minimum until something blows up and then they slink off.

They say that announcing your goals to others increases your chances of success for achieving your goals.

@Matthew Fassett I guess I will take the chance and keep them.

If the property has been sitting vacant for 45 days and this is the first glimmer of interest you have had, then I might take a chance. 

That opens up a can of worms with fair housing laws, but also gives me a chance to make sure everyone gets along and POTENTIALLY convince prospective tenants they wouldn't be comfortable so they chose not to pursue an application.My other way of preventing tensions between renters is to target my advertising.
