So Jan 2023 I purchased a brand new home about 2 miles from the beach.

Now in terms of investment in these areas it can be quite tough because of the higher barrier of entry in terms of purchase price and demand for these pockets but there are still deals to be found.Anything in between Girard and Washington Ave University City/ Spruce & Squirrel HillManayunk & RoxboroughWest Germantown, Mt.

I am actually thinking if I should purchase one for my primary residence. 

Purchase price: $268,750 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $430,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven, in collaboration with Mike Hardin, successfully completed a fix-and-flip on N Deerview Dr, Lake Villa, IL 60046.

That comes with the expense of the refi - but if you were already cash-flowing on your new purchase, you will only improve your situation when you refi. 

Hi Tyquan, An FHA loan would be an option for the use of a primary residence purchase. 

The more efficient solution might be to purchase from Grandma with the 25% down..you ca use the income to help qualify and obtain gift funds or other sources for the down payment.

I'm not aware of a state to state effect on the STR Loophole, several clients have utilized purchasing in Oregon with us from out of State.

Purchase price: $135,000 Cash invested: $130,000 Sale price: $349,900 Better than new!

@Matthew Gentile  one main factor to remember Income is critical in this business to obtain financing of any magnitude and a stable well paying W 2 allows you to obtain debt for your RE purchases plus if you have health bene's etc that's critical as your family grows.
