Owner financing and HELOC on personal residence How did you add value to the deal?

Any prospective resident with bad credit or a prior eviction is going to have an impossible time finding a place to live.  

Best advice to you would be to use that VA loan as many times as you can and buy primary residences for a year, rent them out and then buy something else with the VA!

Some costs MAY qualify as startup costs if the rental rises to a qualifying trade or business level under 195 as well.

Research the Market:It's essential to comprehend the local real estate market before you start flipping residences.

I always loved having an HELOC on my primary residence as the answer for me. 

Hi Jake, the fact that you're a US citizen/resident has absolutely no bearing on the process.

If you have not flipped a home, do not have a rental property, and do not own a primary residence, you may have a hard time getting into lending.

When you can access the opportunities first, you can qualify the lead first, analyse and find the best deals first, reach out and build rapport first , offer your solution first (rather than having your offer thrown on a pile of others the individual has already been given) and so on.

This extra road frontage now also qualifies my property to be able to be legally converted into a triplex from a duplex.
