Understand risk/reward in how you move on that, and how comfortable you're keeping yourself.

.• In 2010, I moved out and decided to put in in service as a rental unit.• I was able to keep it well occupied and leased throughout 2024.• I sold the condo unit in late 2024 for a nominal profit.That brings us to today. 

I have not moved my address on my license. 

By moving a portion of your mortgage balance to a revolving line of credit (HELOC, etc.) you can accomplish exactly that.

That would be the best move for you to find good contractors and reliable ones for your projects.

I was told by the previous owner that you're moving out by February 1st, can you confirm that?"

@Alejandro Martinez I'm a fellow Canadian from just down the QEW from you (Hamilton) and moved to Orlando just over 5 years ago to invest in real estate full-time. 

At that time we still had Rob, Brandon, David Greene on the BPRE podcast, while On the Market had the round table format with a separate crew.

Then moved into building and selling and keeping spec houses as rentals in AZ. 

Understood I made a bad move here as this was first investment so didnt think much except at the location for longterm growth or possibly I move there as part relocation.
