But 1031ing your current land into better production land that you rent out can be a very stable platform.  

Personally, if your market tends toward the former condition (better/normal appreciation) I think it's a fairly safe deal looking at the long term, assuming infrastructure around you continues to support the idea of renting it.

Maybe I can even pick up some tips on how to be a better loan officer as well.

I think if you want to 1031 or trade an asset for a better one then that'd make more sense.

This implies residential units can be built at lower costs and provide better return. 11) adding an ADU to SFH can make the SFH fall under rent control.

@Mike Grudzien @Tim Delaney do you guys think it'd be worth joining a credit union in the city I used to live just to get the rate even if I'm out of state now, will they still give a better rate? 

Just feed it a lot of context and you'll get better output.

I think this arrangement is better than nothing or me taking her to court to only get the land back. 

The influx of foreign investments explains in large part why countries like Spain and Portugal are now economically performing better than the likes of Germany and France.

I hear everyone though, buying a home for STR is the next step and it is the better choice.
