But if you can secure one with solid terms, it could be a great way to access capital while keeping the rental.If you believe in 28277’s continued appreciation (and I do), I’d lean towards holding the rental, increasing rents through strategic upgrades, and leveraging equity via a HELOC or cash-out refinance if the terms make sense.

Hi,I typically rent my 3-bedroom property through a short-term rental platform, but I was recently contacted by an insurance relocation company looking to place a family in temporary housing while work is done on their home.

I am currently working on my first BRRRR and while walking through the rehab I accidentally stepped in paint then onto my hard wood floors. 

Hey @Mike Nelson, never assume anything about STR rules and regs.Here is the STR rules for Oak Park - https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/oakparkil/latest/oakpa...I would call the city and make sure it is legal for a specific property.Now regarding the famous person angle, sure it can add value to the property or as a STR, but for STR use, I would think you would need it to be in original condition with a lot of the furniture and knick-knacks that were owned by the famous person along with a bunch of photos etc featuring the famous person.If you buy a place that has been totally redone but was owned by someone famous but has no features or things that were theirs, then I don't see it being a draw. 

Don't kid yourself regarding flips - if you are doing flips, you are not retired.

Can this be done inside a solo k while also using funds from inside the same solo to do rehab?

Sometimes it works while others it does not.

You don't need a conventional bank to buy a property.

It sounds like you’re exploring a lot of great strategies—house hacking and live-in flips can be great entry points while building equity.Looking forward to seeing how your investing journey unfolds—welcome aboard!

This week, the City of Jacksonville Municipal Court ruled in favor of PadSplit, voiding citations for "illegal boarding houses" on constitutional and fair housing grounds.This marks a huge victory in expanding affordable housing solutions while navigating legal challenges.
