For many years I have worked on improving and selling primary residences and rolling over the equity to the next home but I would like to get into real estate investing as a business.

It's not very far away from El Paso and some residents live and work between the two cities.Regards,Matt Harmon

Unless your simply looking for a residence, there's a lot more to this than just getting a list of properties from a realtor. 

My name is Chris Beck and I reside in SellersvIlle, a small town located in Bucks County, Pa.

Once you buy it and put a renter in it, you might flip out because you won't get the Smith's  home-owner/primary-residence discount and your property taxes can pop up 2x, 3x or some other amount depending on where you buy. 

I am very new to real estate and the only experience I have is from buying my primary residence back in 2014.

(If not, and you live in a state other than Texas, reach out to US Bank and leverage your house and borrow at 5%, can't find money that cheap anywhere, and that's not a plug, just wish someone would have let me know that when I resided in states other than Texas!) 

This is the same case with our primary residence...the loan is in my name only, but the title is under both of us.

I could not imagine trying to get out of La Jolla (or Coronado) if all of the residents were to be evacuated at the same time.

My wife and I are considering buying our first primary residence soon (within the next year).
