Quote from @Allison Littman: I am currently trying to close on a church in Nashville (residential R6-A zoning) and convert it into my primary residence.

Second, Texas also allows Texas homeowners to do cash-out refinance their primary residence.

They get a higher return since they are covering housing cost, have the $250k per spouse primary residence deduction in gains, is a savings account, higher leverage position, lower interest rate possible, will pay more premium for location, etc.House might be overpriced for REITs but not for home owners.  

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Hello all,I just closed on my primary residence with an FHA loan so I am not able to house hack since I am obligated to live in the residence for a year.

I currently reside in Ohio where I buy SFR rentals and do a couple flips a year.

Are you able to move into the property and make it your primary residence?

However, to my understanding, a 1031 conversion of an investment property to your primary residence after a safe harbor of two years does not trigger a tax event.

So if yours is like the old time beach rentals - mismatched thrift store furniture, linens, and decor, you're going to struggle with reviews.

@Kris TohovitisI wouldn't recommend using your cash to pay off the mortgage on your primary residence since you can likely get a better return on that money by investing it.What's your buying criteria for the multi-family property?
