@Nicholas A.House Hacking a primary residence is the best way to generate wealth. 

Once the rehab was done I refinanced out of the private loan into a conventional loan as a primary residence.

Hey @Brett RiemensniderThere are a TON of banks/credit unions that will offer as low as Prime on a heloc on your primary residence.

Unfortunately it's a necessary evil to weed out the residents that are not ideal.

Build a team of professionals, prepare your finances, and carefully select a property near high-demand areas like hospitals or corporate hubs.

Automates lodging tax returns based on your monthly transaction data Prepares, files, and remits lodging tax based on jurisdiction deadlines — for one location or thousands Allows quick access to your lodging and tax filing payment history

If they want their money back fast like a flip then let them flip it and you buy it as a primary residence with a conventional or fha mortgage.

After closing, work on increasing your income, reducing debt, and preparing for a second mortgage.

Are you able to move into the property and make it your primary residence?

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.
