This house is not my primary residence and I am under 65 so I do not qualify for any of the tax breaks.

If you don't currently own your primary residence, then yes, house hacking is the way to go.

I think it is just slow for a lot of people right now.I like the nighttime outdoor pictures, the outdoor spaces and games.I don't think I'd list an air matress as a primary sleeping place.

All owner occupied loans require that you occupy the property as your primary home within 60 days.  

@Marlon Fong Account Closed If I wanted to transfer primary ownership of my company page to another BP member and become their team member is there a way to do this or will I need to delete the company page entirely and have them recreate it..?

Currently have 1 SFH that is a rental and just purchased a primary residence that I will house hack until I have enough funds or equity to look for another property.

the good thing about RE is .... it's easiest way to print money.but when you print it, you have to pay tax.if you want to defer it, then you go to another rabbit hole.you could also do something like this.lets say yourcapital gain is 1 Milyour primary is 1Mil with equity 500k.1031 your rental to another location where you wanna liveSell your primary tax free first 500kthen move to that rental home for forever after rented for two years.Lot of options!

The best way to get started here (or anywhere) is to start by purchasing your own primary home because it's easier to qualify for the loan and it gives you a chance to build equity and you can purchase more house with a lower down payment.

Hello, I'm a relatively new real estate agent and one of my primary reasons for getting my real estate license was to leverage it for real estate investing in my area, which is Northern Virginia.Therefore, I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations for investor-friendly brokerages where I could potentially hang my license and be an active real estate investor.One caveat, is that, I am a part-time real estate agent/part-time real estate investor.Any insights from the members would be greatly appreciated!

If you're okay with taking on as much risk as possible, pull out as much equity as you can from your primary and get all the mortgages the bank will let you with as little down as possible.If you want 0 risk.
