In addition, it would be helpful to talk to the exiting residents and see how much appetite there is for them to own and to get a sense for their financial strength.Hope this helps.

Someone told me Poway is paying residence to put them on their property which is crazy.      

I am in almost the same set up as you, a flat 2/1's, and a carriage house that I reside in. 

Heres an update:The townhouse I currently reside in is paid off. 

You can talk to a private investor, but not sure I see a big enough profit in your deal to take it on.Start living like no one else does, get a second job or a better job, so you can save $20-30K and you can make this happen.I've had to pass on two deals 'cause I didn't have the cash to put 'my skin in the game' (just put $70k into buying a primary residence).

If I own 4 rental properties, could I still co-sign on a 5th property under my wife’s name for a primary residence?

Or is it considered a primary residence in anyway?

I honestly wish I would have stumbled across BP 6 months ago before purchasing my primary residence.

We have a $490K mortgage (3.5% fixed) and a $140K HELOC (4.5% variable; used to renovate residence and buy vacation rental).

hi, I am restarting my RE investments, and looking for opinions here on my primary residence.
