You could show photos of the one that's done and provide a disclaimer that says something along the lines of 'this is not the actual unit, although the available listing has the same layout, features and furnishings.' 

Buying student rentals at the moment is incredibly complicated, though- areas that have been students for decades were just rezoned so that no more than 2 unrelated occupants can be in a single unit.

I am using the OHFA downpayment assistance and it works for 2 - 4 units.

so 100% the section 8 pay is the same on a single family unit as well as a multi unit ??

In many rentals the landlord pays for some utilities even with a single family unit like this.

He had no other job due to being disabled and made himself available 24/7 to take care of his one three-unit property. 

I was wondering if anyone has experience purchasing a unit in a retirement community and what the pros/cons were?  

We have repaired the AC and sent people to inspect the first floor unit.

The expectations are they pay on time and treat my unit right and their expectations of me are I address issues in a timely manner, give them a great place to live and treat them with respect.

My current ideas are to buy either a triplex or quadplex and live in one unit while renovating it and rent out the others for a couple of years before flipping the property.
