ParticipantIsn’t there a minimum owner-occupancy requirement for FHA or GSE financing? I think 50% minimum though Fannie, Freddie, and FHA use slightly different calculations.
If that’s what is causing financing problems I’d doubt that owner occupancy will increase in the near future, if ever. Hope that unit is cash-flow positive!

ParticipantI bought one years ago and everyone thought I was a hopeless nerd.
It’s not certified by the state so I guess it’s landfill city …
Oh wait … if I toss it in the trash I’ll break yet another law.

ParticipantRecent European vacation was a major reality check on high-speed rail and ubiquitous public transportation in general.
It ain’t cheap. A one-day bus pass in, say, Copenhagen runs about $25 US, which coulda got me a full tank of gas not so long ago. A short intercity train trip like Bonn-Amsterdam (about 200 miles) runs $120 US one way, or about the cost of an SAN-SFO flight on Southwest.
It ain’t always convenient. For example, Paris is the hub for all long-distance trains in France … but trains arrive at / depart from different stations and you gotta schlep your stuff through the subway or take a cab. After weighing all the alternatives I booked a trip on an unsubsidized carbon-spewing private bus instead … it was a very proletarian experience and toward the end of the trip a malodorous one too, but I saved a bunch of money and arrived at my destination at noon rather than 1 a.m.
Don’t get me wrong. I think high-speed rail will work well in the right corridors. I’m not entirely convinced SFO-LAX-SAN is the right corridor. And I’m not too encouraged by the fact that we can’t even get conventional train service running again on a no-brainer route like LAX-LAS!
(edit: I meant LAX-LAS … a route I’d love to see in operation again. I mean who actually enjoys the weekend drive out to Vegas?)
