All the emphasis and effort on renovations and inspections is ultimately an attempt to control the controllables enough to create a desirable home for a future resident.

The good news is, if it's your primary residence and you've lived there for at least 2 of the last 5 years, you might be exempt from this tax up to a certain limit.

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

I am looking to start my real estate investing journey and my first thought is to utilize a HELOC on my primary residence, rent it out to start my cash flow and use my equity to purchase a new primary residence.

Hey BP family,In the process of putting in offers for a SFH, with a primary residence loan.

I wish I had more houses to rent out, but then again I guess I'm really just wishing for more/better qualified applicants.Thanks for letting me rant. 

Also if they won't give you required info find a other qualified tenant.
