Also, I travel a lot in my primary profession so I have no issue with vacating my condo and finding another living situation (maybe a small apartment) if I'm able to develop a passive income stream by doing so.

It will be my primary residence and owner-occupied.

The work required is very little.This is y first BRRRR, as my other units were previous primary residences.

If you are buying as your primary residence, you can do 3-10% down.  

I feel like a lot of the buyers are not looking to buy as primary residence home but as vacation home or rental investment.... meaning vacant home  can have squatters and home are not managed close-by and must use managment company that you can trust but could be un-reliable or reliable. 

Here is my current situation...I have approx $100k in equity in my primary residence.

HELOCs are designed for primary homes.Be prepared to have to call back a few times. 

Just completed a large remodel on my primary residence ($90k in) with the goal of refinancing to consolidate some personal debt and pull some additional cash for other real estate related projects, BUT ran into a road block with a lender.

As one of the larger multi-family lenders in the city, a great deal of my clients are 2-4unit buyers/owners....many of them being primary residence purchases taking the "house-hacking" angle. 

It makes things nice and smooth when you can have all of your information and payment history in one platform. ** I just noticed you are an agent.
