For primary investments, you just need to live in the unit for 1 year to qualify for that sweet lower mortgage rate.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Just curious but I was talking to few of my friends who invest in real estate but they are mostly investing in the city they reside or neighboring states.

You are vulnerable to decisions made by the residents of the attached townhomes.

Hi Leroy,Is this a primary residence?

I’m considering using a HELOC from my residence.

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

That said, it seems to make sense conceptually, so I'd be interested in more experienced opinions.In a nutshell, we're thinking of taking out a HELOC on our home, buying a piece of land, building the shell of a house on it, renting out our primary residence, and then going to live in the shell of the new house as we build it out into an off-grid homestead property a little at a time.

Are there any ways i can qualify for a loan on an investment property that produces cash flow ? 

Hi Omar,Navigating the tax implications of your real estate investments, including a single-family home, an owner-financed primary residence, and a limited partnership in an RV park, requires a thoughtful approach to maximize your tax benefits.
