75% of residents in my town are renters. 

Since the VA regulation states I have to reside in the home for a year before I can rent both units out, I will then save my "non-existent" or very little mortgage since I have a renter and use that money as a down payment using the FHA loan on another multifamily property.

The state views a rented residence as essentially belonging to the tenant once you lease it to them. 

Hi Everyone,I am going back and forth on renting or selling our primary residence.  

I am not familiar with Kenosha, but I know someone who works at UPS in Oak Creek and because of the Amazon expansion into Kenosha, UPS has been going crazy, so expect that new facility to not only provide jobs to Kenosha residents, but also to the UPS facilities as well.

Since my plan for this pilot project will be for my own residence, preference-wise I'm currently looking for North Seattle or South Shoreline.

Once you start managing more residents, but aren't quite ready to jump into a full on property management company, what do you suggest for a great maintenance request system?  

This can be risky biz if you don't know or can't depend on your resident/tenant. 

@Christina Hall none of that matters at all as far as the process to take possession of a property you acquire via some type of auction.
