Happy match day bigger pockets followers.My wife  just matched to the Children’s Hospital program in Omaha for her 3 year residency and we will be moving to the area in early June.

I was trying to start out by hiring a contractor to rehab my current residence and maybe develop a relationship for future deals. 

They responded to that with stating they will not give me the keys now and i cannot move in early; even though there is nothing in the home.Back Tenant:I notified the back tenant that was going to come by and take pictures of the property and that i needed to enter the residence.

One is my current residence and one is a rental I bought.

I have even shown that to my buyers for their primary residences.

Although I currently reside in Southern California, I’m looking into long distance investing in Wisconsin, because the market is more reasonable for me, and that’s where I plan on living in a couple of years.

I was just paying my statement balances to avoid interest charges, but when we started shopping for a new primary residence I heard about this strategy and began paying the current balance instead right before they reported and it made a noticeable difference since I my credit report now had near $0 on all my revolving credit.

I have come across articles that say interest rates on home loans can be high as high as 10% to 20% if the house is not intended to be my primary residence.

It depends on the bank @Yash Bajpai , probably a local bank which is all over the state will be better then very small/ family owned bank type. this are much stricter and often just want to work with Local state residents with some track record. you could contact a local mortgage broker that could shop for you.And, if you are planing to buy in this state it is wise to open a checking or saving bank account with one of the local banks.

Would this be the HELOC from your primary residence?
