Is CT located near where you reside?

Hire a PM company so you don't have to deal with residents personally.

I am wanting to move out of my current residence, and because of other benefits such as the experience I'd gain and the access to a low downpayment, all signs point to house hacking.

The previous leasing company confirmed the resident had paid their rent on time every time.

But we won’t qualify for a primary residence refi anymore, and I’ll need more equity to refinance as an investment property.Future investment goals: I want to own rental properties in the future, but I’m not sure if holding on to this one (which we already have) is the right move, or if it makes more sense to sell and build up savings for a better investment down the line.I’d really appreciate any advice on what I might be overlooking here.

But yes, my wife and I plan on investing a du/triplex and living in one unit as a primary residence. 

HOA, no homestead exemption, because my primary residence is in PA. 

Looking for some advice/resources on cleaners as well as the best route to satisfy the resident agent requirement for an STR in the Dells. 

I would make this my primary residence for however long the loan requires. 

However, duplexes can still appreciate well in the right areas.FHA and Loan Strategy:FHA Loan Limitations: You’re correct that FHA loans can only be used for one primary residence at a time.
