@Ransom PattersonI think the easiest way to get started is house hacking-Not necessarily the best way, but I do think it's the easiest.Getting loans for primary residences and investment properties are two different universes. 

@Jason ColemanOne concern is if you aren't using it as your primary residence, you aren't abiding to FHA guidelines. 

Their main interest is to make money off of you and that is their primary interest. 

The current financing on the first two is a typical 30 year traditional loan at 80% loan to purchase price and a rate of 4.99%. 

Some investors are strongly opposed to long-distance investing, but just as many people make it the primary strategy for their investments. 

As we are fixing up the parks and selling manufactured homes in spaces, we have been using seller financing since traditional financing is very difficult and expensive for the buyers.

Just wondering if anyone’s done a cash out refi of their primary residence to pay off a student loan?

Alot of the times they already tried selling traditionally unsuccessfully and didn't want to go that route again. 

Syndication is a primary tool of developers over the past 30 years to create the returns. 

My fiancé and I bought another house shortly after the one I purchased for a primary residence in a neighborhood that has a lot of room for appreciation.
