Here if you’re outside the city and there’s no CCRs restricting it you could do multiple on one lot and it would be like a multi family property if you wanted to rent them out.

Similar is with  restrictions for renting Airbnb.

Remember some builders have restrictions on renting while they're still building, they may prohibit signs, etc.

I’m looking to refinance my owner occupied property (it’s a duplex) and I’m bumping against the 75% LTV restriction for cash out on a multi family. the only other route is FHA which allows up to 80% but has a PMI.

(This last can be a buzz-kill for some, but it protects you from overleveraging and losing your property in market downturn situations.If you have less than 25% equity in the property by the time you are reassigned, you may still be able to tighten your belt, save cash like mad, and buy a property in Texas from your savings since housing tends to be a fraction of the cost in most of the state, Austin being the exception.Best of luck to you!

The beds are pretty solid, but they do need to have the nuts all tightened up occasionally.    

Many banks (that will do them) have tightened requirements on delayed finance.

@Sophia Remley, it's always important to know the laws of your state and your town, as the town may have more restrictive laws than the state. 

@Aaron Alsup The banks generally do not have lower loan amount restrictions.

The comment about supply not catching up to demand was as much about the restrictive and lengthy entitlement process as it was about the diverse and robust employers in the area in a variety of sectors.
