Dont' forget you can 1031 into a DST to "park" your funds if timing/consolidation is an issue, for example.I THINK you still need a Will, especially if property is across multiple states.Is your father a NYS resident? 

Of course, you won't be able to see if they owned any other property since that would require a search by name option, but at least you will know if the primary residence is a possibility.

Every year in summer I post a video about the hottest neighborhoods in Milwaukee and what I found is, that small markets that don't sell at least 100 homes during spring do not offer a large enough statistical sample size to get reasonable numbers, outliers impact the result too much.To your point, if I look at Whitefish Bay with it's 14,000 affluent residents, there is not really a B, C or D area.

Getting a Heloc or Heloan secured against your primary residence is going to be extremely difficult without income/ability to repay.

I bought current residence with cash on 2021.

We use and are happy with Avail as a lease management platform for when we get a FF renter, but it doesn't play well with the OTA booking platforms (which are becoming greater sources of residents for us).

I took my first attempt at BRRR and bought a house (Kansas City) for 200k, which will be my new residency, so I could use less downpayment and needed a second bedroom anyway.

This way you could get an FHA loan and rent out the primary residence.
