Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

Can't technically have a multi unit property as a 2nd primary home, but can do it as an investment property!

. - ADUs are not valued the same as the square footage of the primary units. 

Fortunately, my primary residence is nearby.

Recommend purchasing a primary residence first, ideally a home that needs work in an appreciating neighborhood.

There are so many options - Primary residence HELOC, Stock portfolio Loan, SDIRA / IRA LLC..., conventional loan.... 

“Whenever any person obtains possession of premises without the consent of the owner or other person having the right to give said possession, he or she shall be deemed a tenant by sufferance merely, and shall be liable to pay reasonable rent for the actual time he or she occupied the premises, and shall forthwith on demand surrender his or her said possession to the owner or person who had the right of possession before said entry, and all his or her right to possession of said premises shall terminate immediately upon said demand.”

I have created a lot of loss in my taxes over the last few years and now want to get a mortgage for a new primary home.

Purchase price: $740,000 Cash invested: $1,300,000 Sale price: $3,850,000 I refer to this project as a new construction house hack, as I secured a primary residence construction loan for a two-family home.

The dumbest thing I’ve ever done was paying off my first two rentals and trying to pay off my primary.
