Additionally, you may just want to ask your tenant to be mindful of the other residents by using some form of air freshener or scented candles etc. you would be surprised what a conversation can do, maybe you'll get a more favorable result.Best Chris

It amazes me how much random transient travel it gets(bowling tournaments, pawn shop remodels, manufacturing employees, traveling photographers, etc). 

I'm actually considering moving from my personal residence in a somewhat distant future so I was planning to test the waters before making the leap.

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

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

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

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?

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

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.

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