I use a Manulife One and it has done wonders for paying down our primary residence (to a point where we were able to use some of that equity to fund our first LTR).

Don't be discouraged by the lower returns—house hacking is often about long-term wealth-building, and your primary residence can offset some of those mediocre numbers.Make sure you're accounting for local trends and realistic rents—sometimes expected rent growth is overly optimistic, or costs like repairs might be underestimated.

I'm exploring options to purchase a new home as a primary residence within a 3 hour drive of Houston George Bush Intl Airport (IAH) with a USDA loan that I could turn into an Airbnb to rent out when I am not there because I spend a lot of time overseas.

Refi the house so they can continue to live in it, they will get the best loans on their primary residence.

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

I’m getting ready to make my next move in 2025 and I’m contemplating on staying here and buying a multi family property as an investment out of state (only an hour away) which would be a lot less capital and have a lot more land lord friendly laws or buy another multifamily as a primary residence locally and hack that property I’m single and live alone.

I’m in the very beginning stages, although I do have one rental, and my primary will eventually be another rental. 

Not able to move (at least for a while) due to my job.Looking to use savings that would’ve been for a primary residence down payment to invest in rental property out of state.Would love to make connections, hear thoughts on good markets to look into, strategies to maximize return, etc. 

It was my primary home and is now going to be my LTR.
