.: Quote from @Robin Simon: Do you own your primary residence overseas or have you owned a primary residence prior to going abroad? 

Also, did you have any other loans (ie student loans, primary residence mortgage, etc) when you took on the $25k? 

@William Bohan, Yeah, being a CA resident you'll have to do a 1031 exchange or your tax will approach 40%. 

I am just starting my investment journey, so have only used Real Estate Agents to assist with buying and selling my primary residence. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

The down payment is 25% down for single family residences and 30% down for 2-4 units.

If this is your primary residence and you have an extra bedroom (or can make an extra bedroom), AirBnb can be very lucrative. 

The property was my primary residence for a decade and now functions as rental unit so I am happy with the purchase overall and it has worked out well.

MLS has it as a single family residence, 3 bedroom, 1.5 baths (actually has 2.5 baths), approx 1500+ sqft, 9k+ lot size, 2 car garage, back yard.
