Jonathan - I've had some success with business lines of credit with smaller credit unions in my region (Sun Federal Credit Union), as well as some larger banks, including Wells Fargo and PNC.

My understanding is that military can receive an extension of the "must live in the home 2 out of 5 years" to 10 years.How does this work for taxes??

You can get military renters and report to their supervisors if they are late on rent.

I am a military officer with ten years until retirement.

Or, commercial airline pilots who have either paid a fortune for aviation training from primary, multi-engine and transition to heavy jet type ratings or served in the military and gave up many years of their lives to serve their county.For a great discussion on the value-for-value read Robert J.

@Josh Caldwell  its the only state in the Union I have not personally set foot in or on.I bet its a sleeper don't hear anything about it really.... good luck with it.

Finally, it was sold on May 17, 2023, for $265,000 (check it out: https://www.redfin.com/IL/Chicago/8903-S-Union-Ave-60620/home/13108431).

Illinois has strongest trades unions because they own the politician/lawmakers there.

I’ve found 3 local credit unions and two other banks my real estate agent recommended. 

My friend does union hotel jobs in Las Vegas and the hotels there often have their new remodel contracts signed before the current job is complete!
