This will allow you give a reference point on how much potential rent you can receive.

Hi @Tashanique JonesOne thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

You couple that with The Book on Flipping Houses by @J Scott as an overview and listen to podcasts with flippers.Once you are about six months to a year in on that, you find a local flipper who would allow you to be a very small JV partner in the deal so you can learn and you help them by doing gopher work, etc.

Allow me to learn from the people who have done this and been extremely rewarded, and the ones who have been in here and got absolutely nowhere.

@Leah Smith DSCR that allows STR income is likely your best bet.

@Nathan CoxThe "2 out of the last 5 year rule" in real estate allows homeowners to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 for married couples) of capital gains from the sale of their primary residence if they lived in the home for at least two out of the five years before the sale.

A lot of the suburbs literally will not allow 2-4 units buildings per their zoning. 

@Claudio Garcia Zuniga   Assuming this property is in Texas, state law will only allow you to pull 80% loan to value out of your primary home.

This approach allowed us to proceed quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project stayed on track.

Some lenders will even allow the 'vacation rental' projections.
