I have my primary person and then a backup.

My end goal is to house hack a multifamily home in Washington State as my Primary Residence.

I dont do them often but did one up in Washington state and it was 50% LTV on the primary and then cross collateral on a really cool Ranch in North Central Washington that was free and clear so I got a first on that as a cross.. and I would have loved to own that property :)  @Beth Johnson does a lot of seconds from what I see and like me she knows how to juice the equity portion of the deal..

Primary residence has about 100k in equity. 

I am considering buying a quadplex as a house hack, but the eventual goal would be to move back into my current primary residence rather than buy another, so the seasoning period for me to get another loan would not apply.

Or buy a fixer upper and work on renovating (valuable learning experience if damage not too extensive) during college years then sell and keep up to $250,000 tax free profit as your primary residence allows.

Your going to need to show proof of rent payments and/or short term rental income.If your buying a primary 2nd home and intending to use it as an investment property I would strongly refrain from that activity; especially if your posting about it in a public forum ;).Best of luck.

If you buy a property as your primary residence and live in it for 2 years then rent it for up to 3 more (so you've still lived in it for 2 out of the 5 years prior to sale) you would get the entire 121 exemption tax free. 

.- Assume - second position HELOAN on primary for full $300k (lots of equity) for 15 years at 9% = $3,050 payment per month.

I'm currently in the process of closing my first primary residence deal in NYC, and I would like to ask for a piece of advice to the community.The current tenant of the Seller failed to move out by the closing date and the Seller decided to take a legal vacating process.Background- The current tenant of the Seller failed to move out by the closing date and I heard the tenant is avoiding direct communications with the Seller- Not sure from my end if the tenant is willing to moving out but struggling, or maliciously squatting- I have a vacancy contingency in the contract, thus I can back out at my discretion due to this issue, but currently there is no other properties that I want to move on to due to the market condition- The Seller is trying to take a legal action but it will at least take 3 months or longer, no promise to succeedAdvice to ask- My attorney could not negotiate to ask for a penalty for this delay because the penalty for delay was not included in the contract.
