Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I’m an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

FHA loans are designed for primary residences and require the borrower to be an individual, not a business entity.

I would add that the problem extends beyond Class D properties.Twice I rented B class rentals to Section 8 residents.

Congrats on your pre-approval and your plan to make Florida your primary residence while leveraging house hacking or short-term rentals (STRs).

If the LLC and its income are entirely outside California, it typically does not require registration with the California Secretary of State (SOS) or payment of California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) fees, even if you reside in California.

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?
