@Tanjaree TurnerIf you can move it to a self directed ira then you typically don’t pay penaltiesThere are several sdira companies on BP who could provide more information or a simple google search will give you names of many.

For context, in 2018 I purchased my first Oregon home (specifically intended for STR usage) and moved from LA to Port Orford.

Ideally, I wanted to buy a property without a loan and do the BRRRR method, do to not many decently priced properties in the area that have some potential to remodel or add an addition to for adding more value to the property then cash refinancing after renting to move on to the next one.

If you no longer qualify for a loan you should sell and move.

Paul,    I started with house hacking and moved into buying a new SFH every two years with the eventual goal of buying a piece of real estate each year.

Purchase price: $770,000 Cash invested: $300,000 First house hacked for 2 years then moved out and converted to mid-term rental.

They will never be able to move all of this to their new address, and their damage deposit will never cover having to clean the place out. 

We are moving to a rental property in Seattle next month and the lease is already signed.

Many of us in Illinois hear quite a bit about how easily you can get sued as a landlord related to security deposit handling, thus many shifting to a non-refundable move in fee instead. 

And it sounds like you're able to get amazing interest rate on that refinance effectively moving the debt to a 2.75% interest.
