Hi Jake, the fact that you're a US citizen/resident has absolutely no bearing on the process.

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

A D class neighborhood will carry a stigma with local residents.

Why are they leaving their prior residence?

Hi @Dawn Bertrand, I'm sorry that you feel this way about your experience as a resident of JWB. 

California prices are really unaffordable at the same time the state has consistently had outmigration of native residents for something like a decade and even negative population growth recently whereas Texas has grown substantially. 

HELOCng a personal residence could leave them homeless in the event they fail at this.

Quote from @Salil Surendran: Just rented out my primary residence and researching insurance coverage.

I could be wrong but I thought I saw that Sacramento requires primary residence for the owner for STR.Do you live in Sacramento or nearby ?

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Sale price: $550,000 I acquired this property in 2015 and used it as my primary residence for two years.
