Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I am a non US resident investor.

Without going into too much detail, we had a mid-rise apartment building in our downtown collapse a little over a year ago which very sadly killed 3 of our residents.

My primary residence is central PA but split time between New Hampshire, Central PA, Central Jersey, and NW PA.

The rule I was told from the planning folks is at least 0.25 miles from existing STR and at least 250ft from nearest residence.

I have equity in my primary residence and some non retirement savings (but hesitant to dip into that… ) Interested in hearing your responses!!

If you refinance it as your primary residence, then yes, you will be signing a new Mortgage at closing that says you intend to occupy for 12 months, essentially resetting your clock to another 12 months.But here's the huge kicker.

From my employer, I have legal insurance through ARAG that covers 100% of attorney fees when buying a primary residence, filing fees are extra.

Supposedly, a father with 2 kids moved in -- instead, a rotating circle of criminals resided there.

We did buy the basic indoor system for our primary residence and use it everyday.
