Currently we are looking at a new Primary residence around $700k.

Me, for example, being transparent, I only have the ability to use a hard money or private lender, but that is about as deep as I can go with my ability to buy right now until I can get my credit score up enough to get qualified for conventional funding too, if that's what I choose to do.

I'm trying to decide if the home that we lived in as a personal residence and then converted to a rental is still a good investment or not.

Got a HELOC on my primary residence and put some additional cash into the investment to customize it.

It was our primary residence.

Hi everyone,I reside in Kitsap county.

Hi everyone,I am a 23-year-old beginner real estate investor, and I recently made my first purchase in September 2023—a one-story single-family primary residence with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Not to mention, the boyfriend will not qualify as a tenant due to criminal record, insufficient proof income and several other requirements.

Such condos are meant to be second residences, not rentals.
