Thanks That's incorrect, based off my general understanding of landlord tenant laws. usually, local laws stipulate that occupancy for more than several weeks, personal items in residence, and/or receiving mail at the residence establish tenancy.

Eventually we found a 3 bed 2 ba just a few mins away from our home and got it.( both are not scary, lol and this is where Ive found my next deals)For financing we had pulled out the 83k from our residence but needed to figure out the financing for the purchase.

Unfortunately the office staff hadn't been very diligent about requiring proof of renter's insurance from our residents this year so we ended up having to cover a majority of the costs.

(primary residence)  We want to pull the trigger on buying our first rental property but I need to decide on a course of action for the down payment. 

Forgive my ignorance, but won't the lender not allow me to do an owner-occupied mortgage since I'm out of state and won't be able to fulfill any potential residency clauses (i.e.-- living in the home for 1 year or something)? 

Politically it is not a good look if the US spends to provide Mexico better sewer treatment and fix the related issues.Last I was at the IB pier the pier did not have a commercial resident. 

Our customers are many Seattle area residents building vacation and soon to be retirement homes in our area.  

We just bought a 4 family in which we also reside.

Talk with your title company and the buyer and try and find a solution.

havent had many issues in the past few years after I started visiting their place of residence in advance...gives me a look around to see how they will treat my place.
