This is a commercial property and not a primary residence so how does the capital gains play a part here?

Whether this is oral (no written lease) or written, they both command the same legal obligations under whatever state the residence is in. that being said, it is never in a landlords best interest to allow someone to be on an oral lease, since oral leases always default to state law, and give landlord no control over what tenant can and cannot do (outside state law of course)as far as why?

Despite the extremely low LTV ratio, multiple bankers I have spoken with, keep telling me that home equity lines of credit can only be levied against a primary residence, and not against an investment property, or portfolio.

Sorry, but renovations to your personal residence are a capital expense and not deductible. 

What is everyone’s strategy for their personal residence and exit strategy from a house hack?

I partnered with a friend of mine last year on a primary residence. 

Hello All, I am currently going through growing pains in my knowledge of investing in real estate, for the past 12+ years i have bought 7 properties as primary residences when i would switch duty stations along my career.

After my tenants moved out, I opted to list my primary residence with a local agency.

As long as you make it your primary residence you can will get a few solid advantages over a regular flip.- You may be able to qualify for a loan at a much lower interest rate than a loan to flip. - If you live in the house for more than 2 years, you may be able to sell without paying capital gains taxes.

In other words, DO NOT Airbnb your own residence.
