Quote from @Kegan Scholl: -22 years old-$50,000 pre tax income from business this year-80k in savings-30k in investments-pre approved for $350,000 (had to use parents as co-signers because I started business 2 years ago and didn’t make much first year)Looking to get into first house by house hacking a 4 bed 2 bath renting out 3 rooms.

I also purchased these while residing in CA!

I'm not sure that the property being perfect for your investment criteria makes it unique enough to warrant a judge forcing the sale, especially considering that it was not listed for sale to begin with and that you're going to be using it for an investment property not a primary residence.

Most would agree that taking money from you primary residence is not a good idea at all.

If it does vest, then the 2nd isn't currently $8k and the paperwork could further help your case.Other option is to completely ignore the equity in your residence and look for creative financing on the property you want to purchase. 

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.
