I believe you can live in your "forever home" for a long time and still access your hard-earned forced appreciation through cash out refinances and/or HELOCs to continue investing. 

I think you will find its not as great of deal as you thought OR will force you to negotiate better to get the deal you need. 

A HH can also involve opportunities to force appreciation and/or rent (e.g.; by adding an extra bedroom in a previously under-utilized space).

You are almost forced to refinance to a perm loan in those cases so you can get taken out of the initial loan. 

My driving force is my family and creating a brighter future for them.

The property is currently mortgaged so would a land contract force the due on sale clause?

If you set your goals appropriately and go after them will full force you'll meet them quicker than you can imagine but you need to spend time sharpening your ax.Good luck I'm hoping you post back on this tread in 3 years saying you just closed on a 120 unit apartment complex with 30,000 sqft of storage units. 

There is a great BP podcast about an Air Force guy in Korea buying 20+ SFHs in Alabama. 

No value-added or forced appreciation but purchased below market value.

Bumping value won forced appreciation is about the only appreciation you’re gonna get in the near future so it’s a good strategy.
