Other factors as well of course: DTI, the LTV, primary residence vs investment property, etc.

I appreciate the reminder as well that if the gain is fairly low then it may make more sense to just pay the capital gains taxes now versus 1031 exchange. 

The main thing being: giving up a property that appears to have appreciated pretty well is just a touch pill to swallow and I've regretted a few moves I've made when put in a similar situation to yours, and I had less equity in mine.It sounds like you're moving to Raleigh in the near future and want to buy a multifamily to househack.

My main goals with these initial projects are:1.Gaining valuable insights into the local market.2.Getting hands-on experience with out-of-state investing, particularly when it comes to remodels and managing from afar.3.Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it’s the right strategy for me long-term.If all goes well, I’d love to scale up and explore multi-family projects.

My plan is to funnel the rental incomes from all three properties, along with my W2 income, back into the HELOC while covering all expenses from it as well.

Their pictures of the leadership team is sketchy as well. 

In the LOI, should I put my name and the buyer as well?

FL and TX have been very popular and have large markets we try to help revitalize as well! 

In all honesty my clients putting down as little as 5% tend to cash flow as well. 

I have 3 windows as well that don't stay in the open position that I have to replace.
