I'm a passive investor and these properties are in a different state than I reside in so I'm not there in person often. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence hard money loan investment.

My name is David Hausner and I recently purchased a Single Family Residence with LoanGuys.com.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Chicago Heights.

I could be wrong but I thought I saw that Sacramento requires primary residence for the owner for STR.Do you live in Sacramento or nearby ?

Lastly, you won't be able to HELOC (or any cash-out equity) and 2-4 unit property in TX while it is still your primary residence.

I recently acquired my first primary residence and am seeing ways I can best utilize the space for real estate investing.

To me, I would just accept Zelle and update Avail if possible and look to see what the tenant is looking for in terms of repairs, how much rent you'll get from them, and if you want them as a resident.

All calculations suggest great investment for 4 bed 3 bath in good school zone, however once the tax estimator goes from $2200 to $9500 due to lose of tax credit from not being a primary residence it hard to see how to get property in SC.

For my personal residence - yes, i would love to own it free and clear as it's not an investment but rather liability which I want to minimize as much as possible.
