The home is located 7 minutes away from a 1 Trauma Center Hospital.

When you move into the home as a primary you are now able to take out a higher LTV for cash out 80% or 90% Heloc versus Investment.Fix up the other smaller side move out and go up in the rent and use some of the cash out funds as a down payment to buy another property.

I am helping my mom out with her Portland, Oregon rental home.

I would live in the main home for a few years and looking for folks that would be willing to provide me with some advice. 

It wasn't the values dipping that killed everyone (see graph on median home sales prices from the FED). 

@Christopher Sparacino I bought a home in Venice in 2021 after my husband passed away from Covid.

Selling I save 30k on the Reno budget resting in a 107k sale.What you guys think Keep a fully renovate home for 66k in a C+/B- area or sell for 107k for the next deal?

As the home sits right now it will cash flow about $100.00 to $150.00 a month if I self manage it due to tax hikes and the homestead tax credit not applying after it becomes a rental.

Good luck finding a reputable entity for home insurance.

Is it better to first purchase a primary home for myself (living in CT), and if so, does it matter whether it’s a house or a condo?
