Is it possible for me to get an FHA loan while posted abroad if I make the property my primary residence within the US?

Thoughts on pulling money out of my primary residence to cover the down payment or are there better ways?

I asked because there are some things to consider if you plan to use the replacement property yourself during the off-season -> this thread list out some of things to consider if you do a 1031 and convert to primary/personal use

The difficulty here is that conventional lenders will not allow you to purchase a primary residence as a LLC, so that strategy usually only works when you purchase investment properties

-Depending on your location, I wonder if there is a market for bunk beds in primary suites.

Defer Taxes and Grow WealthThe primary advantage of a 1031 exchange is tax deferral.

My primary focus is on fix and flip transactions, but I’m also open to buy and hold strategies as an alternative exit plan.From what I understand, an LLC can limit the liability of its shareholder (me) only if it is established in the same country where the property is located.

For investment properties you should be using private/hard money lenders, but if it's a primary or you have a long window of time to secure the financing then traditional may be the way.Overall, it should be easier to get approved via creative financing though as there are options and workarounds for nearly every scenario (they just may cost more the more creative you need to get).

The primary goal of a Cost Segregation study is to identify all property-related costs that can be depreciated over 5, 7 and 15 years.

If you already own your own primary residence, then I would suggest going into a long-term rental.
