When I return to the country after my Au Pair contract ends, I hope to live in the property as my primary residence and house-hack as well.I understand that investing remotely makes things more challenging, but I am also ready to be uncomfortable and challenge myself in this journey as I know it is 100% possible.

@Kris TohovitisI wouldn't recommend using your cash to pay off the mortgage on your primary residence since you can likely get a better return on that money by investing it.What's your buying criteria for the multi-family property?

You can apply for permanent residency after five years.

I am days/weeks away from trying it at my personal residence.  3500 sqft but only two people using it, so not sure how good of a test it will be. 

@Leeling ChewAbsolutely, you should background check every adult (18 or older) who will reside in the property.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I just completed an exchange of a single family residence in Scottsdale to a single family residence in Durango, Colorado. 

My name is David Hausner and I recently purchased a Single Family Residence with LoanGuys.com.

Far too many parks just 'give' a resident in the park free space rent to keep an eye on things and do light maintenance with no 1099 reporting. 

You could do something like what you want if it was your personal primary residence and even then the interest rate would be ugly.
