You should consider: appreciation, can you get reliable property management there, crime area, etc to name a few.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

A mortgage lender told me to use a DSCR loan and just move in to the property as a primary residence?!

Both times our property got lucky and was not red tagged.  

Newspapers are dead and bringing them all online has only lessened the true journalistic impact which is why you see good writers writing about stuff they just reviewed, but do not know.

What type(s) of commercial properties are you looking for? 

Mark your property available for rent and it gets pushed out to several sites.

We have leased several properties in Brampton recently, and we also have some rooming houses in our management portfolio.

Do you want to lose your options to do a 1031 exchange on your properties? 

The example scenario would be if I bought a $1M property, the bank is in first position and covers 800k of the property cost, the seller agrees to cover cost of down payment and covers 200k of the property cost.Let's say we can no longer make payments on the property and it's foreclosed on.
