I have a HELOC on my Texas primary residence and am considering a house hack for my next purchase.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Sale price: $550,000 I acquired this property in 2015 and used it as my primary residence for two years.

Hi Jake, the fact that you're a US citizen/resident has absolutely no bearing on the process.

@Miguel Del Mazo I “gift” my residents a small discount on their January rent.

The tenants are currently in court with a title dispute so the house would have to be paid for cash only.I would like to convert it to a primary residence and turn the garden level into a separate two bedroom apartment for use as an in law suite.

HI Matt,You don't necessarily need to be a resident to purchase real estate in the US.
