The best way to generate leads is to actually contact the owners of multi family homes.

I would say take a few breaths and smile since your about to become a property owner in a great part of San Diego.

if it has 15bd already, means the previous owner is probably renting it out to college students as well, why is he letting this go?

Or should I just list it myself "for sale by owner" on free sites?

Secondly, I pay taxes on my W2 income, then I invest in real estate and I pay property taxes (non owner occupied is higher in my state).

The owner is dead.

BUT I was also told that given the fact that both of the police officers to whom I had spoke knew of the previous owner and the company they kept (small town), that there is a "good chance" meth was used in the home.What do I do with this information?

Even so, I'd be hesitant to buy one of those Downtown without putting serious consideration into the upcoming tax reval, which could cause property taxes to soar for owners in this part of the city.However, not all hope is lost if you're willing to entertain options elsewhere in Jersey City.

What about if your still owner occupying but wish to move out in a couple months.. can you cash out refinance then?

There is a Meijer and strip mall with good restaurants and businesses nearby including a Whole Foods that helps garner renters, owners to the area.
