We have 250,000 equity in our primary home.

There are groups now that get into properties when the owners go on vacation (primary residences, not rentals) they come back and find that someone has change the locks of their house and can’t enter.

The zero down programs are designed for primary residences and are linked to the individual on title.

Currently at 30% they will be reduced over the next few years starting next year.Financing the systems is trickier for multiple properties as the zero down programs are designed for the person on title in primary residences.

Held it for 2 yrs and sold it for a down payment on a primary resident. 

Will traditional suburbia change?

If you have the skills to fix it yourself I’d suggest buying the worst house you think you can live in and have the skills to fix as your primary home.

Do you have any other properties, including your own primary residence, that have equity?

I paid cash using a HELOC on my primary residence. 

If you have a property that say you had for 20+ years and you still owe say 100k to a traditional bank but it is now worth  700k, can you pay off the 100k with the proceeds of the sale and owner finance the rest 560?
