Seller scenario, motivation and purchase:The seller purchased this house as his primary residence and then ended up moving into another house a few years later.

Not sureif this was the beginning. ...but there were alot of restrictions, one being you couldn't own multiple properties even if the purchase was for primary residence. 

@Yousef RedaIf this is a real quadriplex (4 distinct units, not just 4 separate rooms in a house), then the minimum downpayment possible is 10% and this would be a high-ratio, insured, mortgage for an owner occupied property (meaning you would need to reside in one of the units).  

Hello @Michael Merrill and from one Arizona resident to another, welcome to BP.

Have a buddy who closed many deals including 242 units while deployed.Your local REIA will be a source of the contracts and paperwork.Have a buddy who walks a targeted neighborhood door knocking on doors speaking to residents on behalf of the local politician.

My wife and I have a couple rentals right now that were originally bought as primary residences while I was active duty Navy stationed in Virginia Beach and San Diego.  

My primary residence puts my DTI to about 35% as it is.

I'm 30 years old and am in the process of purchasing my first home (a SFH) as a primary residence in Atlanta and am seriously ready.My biggest challenge is obviously where to start.  

Some states don't have income taxes as well.For what it's worth, in Atlanta I pay about 2.5% effective sales tax on my primary residence.

I currently reside in Boston doing sales in the e-commerce sector and have decided to take the plunge into real estate investing ever since I had the pleasure of reading "Rich Dad Poor Dad".
