HI Guenevere, You can acquire your a primary residence from up to 1-4 units for as low as 5% with conventional or 3.5% FHA with a few exceptions.

The Federal K-1’s will be available first, followed by the Illinois state K-1’s.Illinois requires that we withhold taxes from non-Illinois residents and this will be identified on your Illinois Schedule K-1-P(3) line 19.

Do I have to be a resident in the state im buying in? 

If the duplex sells for $500K and you exchange into a duplex in LA for $1 mil then you could use 50% of it as your primary residence.- Do I qualify for for a section 121 exclusion sense I lived on the property for the first 2 years of ownership?

To receive the 4% ratio, you have to submit an application showing the property is your primary residence.

Should I refinance, I know I cannot do  HELOC because it is not my primary residence.

I also checked in our executive meeting and your property is being marketed $100 above the range we gave you and has a resident application.  

I'm excited for the opportunity to be apart of the community with BP, I reside in the state of Virginia and started my investment journey many years ago at 22 doing fix and flips, I stopped when the market crashed in 2007/2008 and didn't like the way the market looked and I left the investing world, I became a mortgage loan officer, and then processor and later underwriter and learned the backend of the conventional lending world.
