Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

For those investors who are looking to acquire and occupy a 2-4 unit MF property, it's going to be a lot easier to do so. 

There are lockable thermostats for commercial use, but I can't see that working in a rental.I think the main issue will always be that any thermostat that you can set a minimum temperature in will always be susceptible to this fail safe failing, due to the possibility the tenant could change it on purpose or on accident.I'd hope in a 4 plex as long as there is no building defect to the thermal envelope that it would be difficult for one units pipes to freeze as long as the other units were occupied, seeing as they share some common walls/ceilings.

Looking at the underwriting rules for FHA and CONV investors can only own a certain percentage of the total # of units in order to be eligible for this type of financing.

Now, their second and third phases for the same unit are selling at $410k.

Are you open to moving to a 2-4 unit building?

They really should be able to terminate even faster since they haven't onboarded or done anything yet (maybe a background check at most)You are the owner of the unit - so yes you can refuse to sign or approve any tenant generally (unless your contract specifies otherwise which would be incredibly odd - my PM runs potential tenants by me first)

They actually do the repairs and replace the unit with new if they can’t fix  Ps.

I have a property with 3 units on the lot.

I am making an offer on a multi-family home that has two units.
