Hey Zach, lots of reasons: 1) Local Expertise: For instance, My primary states are Hawaii and Washington.

They are responsible for AML/KYC check to make sure its not money from some mexican drug lord etc. but if you put in more than the 10% net worth outside your primary thats on you. 

Hi @Scott Trench as a Bigger Pockets Pro member for about eight years, I would love it if you brought back the traditional Bigger Pockets Pro member signature line with website please.

Primary Homes - most banks will easily do 80% of the value of your home, some will go up to 89.9% loan to value (LTV). 

I agree that DealCheck (or the BP calculator) does not provide enough tools or functionality to analyze those types of transactions (yet).But I would argue that it does a great job at analyzing more traditional buy & hold SFRs and multi-families, as well as flips and rehab projects. 

I have a HELOC on my Texas primary residence and am considering a house hack for my next purchase.

Someone buying $1million home in Indy is buying it for a primary residenceOn the Class C, are clients buying 1950s or newer?

However, we often facechallenges in sourcing suitable properties through traditional MLS listings.

This gives them the same protection and coverage under your policy as you have as the primary policyholder.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—it’s clear that I need to clarify the distinction between my approach and the traditional perception of “cheap rent.”
