Bridgeton / Maryland Heights / Saint Ann.I'm hearing that studying where the residency rates are increasing along with understanding which businesses are establishing / expanding can be a great source of insight for understanding where the housing demand will be.Would love to catch you and some of the other local folks at a meetup sometime.

Could I rent it out for exactly one year, and then move back in as my primary residence after the lease expires? 

I would like to purchase a primary residence in Los Angeles, and I'm considering either selling the Seattle home when the lease is up in a year, OR using the Seattle home as collateral to get a loan on a house in LA.

I am currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia.

I could sell my personal residence and walk away with a minimum of $20k.

When the recession hit I never dropped rents on current residents.  

I have a business license in my state of residence.

We paid off about half of it very quickly because it was at a higher interest rate and I wanted to get our DTI down to purchase a primary residence, but I am making the minimum payments on the rest of it for the reasons I stated above.

I live in North Texas where cities encourage larger expensive houses in an attempt to get high income residents.

Otherwise, I would absolutely give a written notice of the termination of their residency.
