Hi all, I want to get out of the real estate game and do a 1031 exchange to roll my equity into a home that I will eventually live in after the 2-year required rental period.

@Poem Turner I am also looking for an insurance agent that can help me with the flip I am going to be living in as well as auto.

Hi All - I live in New York and looking to start investing in Ohio or PA.

You are going to have to have power nearby but it could be a good addition to your outdoor security.$59-$64 Zinus Van or Abel platform bedframe, king or queen -  https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Platform-Support-Mattress-Found...https://www.amazon.com/Zinus-Platform-Support-Mattress-Found...They are very similar but the Van is 16" and the Abel is 14" so that could make a difference.

More than anything this will exclude you personally from claim history (some of which is without merit and is the nature of the litigious society we live in). 

One had the owner still living in the property with 5 cats, and 10 litter boxes that had never been changed in years.  

I'm an investor living in Northern CA who grew up in Lexington, KY.

Any loan under than 20% down (other than hard money loans) normally requires that it is an owner occupied home, e.g. you have to live in it for a year.

Click here to know what is going on and what is going to be required.The list of inspections is pretty exhaustive and covers a lot of things within the building and sanitary codes.The city believes that it has a problem with many older buildings being in disrepair and not maintained by the owners.The owners/landlords have issues with the city because they believe the city is overstepping its authority and does not have the right to inspect the buildings.In the middle, we have the tenants who should have clean and safe apartments to live in.

My other question is Why aren't you renting out the $1800 side and living in the $1200 side?
