I am looking for a home loan for a primary residence, but needing it to be a portfolio loan due to having rentals and self employment income. 

Which is why I'm here.My best guess is that, worst case scenario, a new A/C or heat pump would cost about $4k (I had one installed in my own residence last year).

If you follow all the rules you will avoid any gain on the property you sold, remain invested in productive real estate, and receive the whatever tax benefits remain in owning a house after any tax reform is completed.Just to clarify, but the 1031 proceeds have to be rolled into an investment property, which I can then later convert to a primary residence, right?

Account Closed If you are living in the condo currently won't you have to move and most likely buy another property anyway (primary residence) to see any rental income, or am I missing something.

I bought a condo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2011 which I used as my primary residence up until this year.

I currently live in Baltimore with my wife, baby and dog.I purchased my first home as a primary residence in the Canton neighborhood of Baltimore in 2012.

., about 2 hrs from where I reside, but in another state (CT). 

In the future when I wish to purchase another property as a personal residence or investment, what is the most efficient way to do that?  

80% is max cash out for a primary residence.

The two car garage would be for primary residence leaving a one car garage for upstairs rental unit of approximately 900 sf.
