I bought my residence by owner, they had contracts and such and we met at title company.

I was hoping to make my primary residence a good investment via house hack or slow flip but looks challenging.

In general things which qualify as origination indebtedness include money used to acquire, build, or substantially improve the primary residence that secures the loan.

Thank you I will look into that  also is it better to start locally rather than a different state than where I reside you think?

So could I pull the equity out of my 2 rentals maybe even my current residence to do a flip or buy a 3rd rental?

I have my primary residence in an area where land is at a premium.

I'm curious if anyone has any insight on hosting a wedding at their primary residence.

New utilities should be installed as to allow for costs to be passed to residents. 

I’m looking into alternative methods to house having and MFH run for $700k+ out here.At the moment, I live in a detached garage converted into a 600sf 1bd/1bth.Since the 700k price point for a duplex with max 3bd/2bth unit to rent it out of question for me, I was thinking of the possibility of picking up a smaller house with the possibility of converting a garage or building a separate addition that my wife and I would then be able to live in while renting the main house.I know CA is becoming very favorable towards ADU’s now a days and was wondering on if this could qualify as a primary residence for myself as well as me be able to use potential rental income for me to be able to qualify for a loan.Still new to BP and REI, I couldn’t find a google answer on this, so any help would be appreciated.Thanks!

Also, I am a little unsure since my primary residence is in New Jersey but most of my properties will be in Pennsylvania, how does that work?
