I completely agree with @Ashish Acharya's points about the cost-effectiveness of a HELOC and the potential credit implications if it’s secured by your primary residence.

In markets where affordability and cash flow are tough, focusing on stable, long-term rental markets with strong resident demand can make all the difference.It’s completely understandable to feel cautious after missing opportunities in the past, but real estate has always been about timing and strategy.

Far too many parks just 'give' a resident in the park free space rent to keep an eye on things and do light maintenance with no 1099 reporting. 

no reports of incidents with our residents but there were some people injured and some homes damaged. 

It would be his primary residence so most likely a duplex or triplex house hack. 

Hey Nick, Middletown is a growing submarket between Cincinnati and Dayton, with around 50,000 residents and access to a metro area of over 3 million.

That being said, I had competing issues. 1) my wife and I are buying a new primary residence (much to my chagrin), and 2) in december, we bought a condo rental that is currently being renovated (a much lighter project) and that process is also a little stressful.   

If it is your primary residence as indicated, just sell it and skip the 1031I Persue all 3 payment options concurrently and see which pans out as your best deal.

Quote from @Guillermo Perez: Can someone please let me know if this is ok for my first BRRRR.I got a $200k HELOC on my primary residence to help fund my first BRRRR.

Hello BP community,Most of the builders do not offer investors opportunity to buy the lots and they claim they are only for primary residence (i;e they will sell only if you are going to live in it (example Ryan homes, Pulte homes etc..) are there any builders out there who can sell to investors for "buy to rent" in Columbus OH?
