It seems that banks won’t do a HELOC on an investment home (primary only).

If you want to live in one of the units of a MF as your primary residence then you would need to make sure that the value of the other 3 was equal to or greater than your sale in order to defer all tax.Example:  If you sell your rental now for 600K and wanted to buy a 4 plex for $800 then you could move into one of the units (1/4th of the building) as your primary because the units are each roughly worth $200K and you would be using 3 of them ($600K) as investment.

My primary home in the poconos is rented out while I’m away for 13 weeks at a time for work.

Which is the primary reason I have been patient on waiting. 

It is the basement of our primary residence in which we clean and manage.

My name is Amber Kramer and I'm a new investor in the Mid-Michigan area.I currently own my primary residence that I purchased more than 12 years ago and I'm hoping to start investing in my area.

when you are buying a house on a mortgage as primary resident is it """required""" to change my current license to the new home or can i keep my current license on my old home and never change it?

Looking for a great insurance broker who is experienced in handling house-hack situations.We may short-term-rent our primary-residence unit within SF regulations (up to 90 days a year), which we will also want to account for with insurance (been looking through posts here about some insurance companies cancelling people's homeowner's policies when they hear about STR setups so want to make sure we're above board and with a supportive insurance company).  

In this case, I'd do strategy 2.Primary residence.
