I grew up in Berea and lived there for 25 years. 

I am currently living in the master bedroom, and renting out the other 3 bedrooms.

I live in the greater Richmond area.

Don't use it strictly as a tool to turn the property into one you want to live in. 

They have lived in that house now for 24+ years and just signed a new 3 year renewal. 

I’m trying to get a heloc or cash out refi on a primary residence duplex.l under FHA.I have great credit but modest incomeWife has bad credit with better income therefore I don’t believe we will qualify for heloc.Our plan was to get heloc to use as a down payment on another house hack or general investment property.So far our mortgage company said they could do the cash out refi which would raise our mortgage from $800 to $1200 (current rate is 3.62) and the rate would go to 6.6To pull out hopefully 30-35k maxMy concern is if I do the cash out.

Hi, we went live with our first STR (or any rental for that matter) around mid-November.  

Hi BP community, My tenant, who lives in a two-story, newer construction SFH complained of a water leakage in the bottom floor kitchen ceiling (through the LED lights).

A quick google search of your state indicates the following regaridng timeline to give notice:30 daysFor tenants who have lived in the property for less than one year, or have a lease for less than one year60 daysFor tenants who have lived in the property for more than one year but less than two years, or have a lease for more than one year but less than two years90 daysFor tenants who have lived in the property for more than two years, or have a lease for at least two yearsI'd definitely touch base with an eviction attorney in your state to ensure you are not missing any steps and to have the attorney as a backup option in case the tenant does not vacate easily.

Sad times we live in just as we enter bear market today & prepare for crash of our lifetime!
