Best strategy rather than DST.... is just sell primary, move to rental, sell rental, and buy another primary if equity is already less than 40%.Track records are in every PPM. 

I’m starting off wanting to get into a primary residence that I plan to house hack and then figure out the next move into investment properties but that’s down the roadwith all that said, are there other ways that im not thinking of to 1.

there's a tremendous demand for inventory - both primary residences and rentals - and so buyers are willing to accept lower yield than a lot of us think makes sense. 

Looking forward to get more familiar with the platform 

I'm very new to investing and weighing which options would benefit me the most.Option 1:  Use the cash as down payment on another primary residence and rent out the current.

I've got about $525K in equity in the property, but lenders have told me that I cannot get a HELOC to access that equity for additional purchases because the duplex was financed as an investment - they have said TX law dictates that HELOC can only be used on primary residences.

I'm curious what your primary concerns were with reliability when calling the 6 providers.

You’ve taken strong steps by hiring a reliable cleaner and listing the property across multiple platforms.

My husband and I just moved into our new primary residence about 40 min outside Savannah, GA.

Commercial RE is a bit more strict than the residential market which has more options available due to flexible housing regulations in place to make it easier for people to buy their primary residence.1) Family and friends.
