I can refer a couple of great PM's in Orlando if you want to get another opinion or two. 

And we slow rolled those into better properties each time until we were finally able to pay cash for the last couple. 

I think it was a couple from San Jose area that bought it. 

I've been managing for 15 years and have helped a couple owners change/expand their portfolio. 

You'll need to use the property a couple weeks a year since this is primarily a 2nd home as far as the bank is concerned.They may be harder to find right now, but I'm sure you can find someone to do one of these loans. 

We are solely working on assisted living:- Buying homes and leasing them at higher than market rates to these business operators- Purchasing existing businesses with the real estate- Developing / building newFor us, the business makes the real estate cash flow, we can create a massive impact, and the demand outpaces supply and will continue to be that way for the next couple decades.

Contact a couple contractors to see what the cost would be to add the addition.

A 1031 exchange is NOT available for owner occupied property so that’s the bad news.The good news is for owner occupied primary residences, for married couples, the first $500,000 of pain is tax free.No need to worry about a 1031, live in the house, sell it, use the $500,000 exclusion and you pay KP tax on whatever profit may exist,2.

It's also a couple days work.

I don't personally have tens of thousands in cash on hand for larger down payments (I do though in my TSP/401k), but my dad will have maybe a couple hundred thousand after the sale of his house soon.
