You can buy a single family home, live in it for a year, then rent it out afterwards, and that would effectively be an investment property after you moved out, but you also got the more beneficial terms of it being a primary residence loan.You could buy a single family home and rent out bedrooms while you are living there, and that would effectively be an investment property, but again, you have the more beneficial terms of a primary residence loan.I wouldn't get caught up so much on if a property you buy is an investment immediately so much as I would focus on what your goals are and how each purchase would be step towards your goals, whether that is house hacking or just buying investment properties you don't live in. 

Looking to sell my primary residence soon and will have approx. $150k in equity after closing costs, etc.

I have found a couple but they want me to insure my primary as well as the rental.

Then using the recoup to fund my primary residence BRRRR to then fund my transition into SFR BRRRR.

However, I am the primary owner.Current Situation: My aunt’s daughter (my cousin) lives in the house rent-free.

House hacked basement rental since 2017 and then turned that primary into full rental to buy new Primary and repeated HouseHacked Basement 2023.  

Essentially, I am looking to see if there is anyone who works at a brokerage where that is their primary focus I was hoping someone on here could direct me on who that might be.

To begin, I am considering renting my primary home because the loan is at a low interest rate, and the cash flow, based on comparable rentals in the area, is promising. 

Many investors balance their primary careers with real estate, and your flexibility with four days off a week is a big advantage.

You can always start off in real estate by acquiring a property as a primary residence.
