if you purchase with an unsecured Line of Credit it will cause some challenges with a traditional refinance. 

As we all "graduate" from one life profile to another, quite naturally, those connected to each profile are usually different. 

I've been getting some resistance (naturally) from some family members, so it's a little stressful not having their full support. they think it's a money pit since it's an older house (1920) and will constantly need repairs causing me to lose all my money, and dont like that its out of state (1 hour from where we live, not terrible).

I think a lot of people are simply not equipped to think of themselves as anything other than a success in life, and anything that challenges that assumption or the external appearance of it is to be avoided at all cost.In the end, this is what vanity does to people, it turns them into fragile things unable to grapple with the crippling fear of being revealed to the world but also to themselves as less than perfect, as most definitely NOT good enough, as "losers" and "failures" and "second-raters" and all the words the most vain among us use for those they think they're a million times better than.Being able to laugh at yourself and your pretensions is a gift and a great liberation of the spirit.

The natural options are to claim the state from which you entered service, or the state you are first stationed in, but a state like Texas (check to see if it has changed) will accept your intent to live there after serving without penalty if you don’t.

I would only look into a place that is hooked up to city sewer and water. the one I had in Oregon the drainfield expired IE came to the end of its natural life and I had to not only replace but have a 100% failure area which I had to then finagle with a neighbor had I not been able to do that I would have had to close the park.. 250k is what that cost..Now in the mid west and deep south were these parks are dime a dozen its not that critical like west coast we have some pretty strict DEQ type regs out this way.. but regardless that was a one and done for me personally.

Anyone have a CPA or professional they have used to challenge this type of action? 

I'm a natural information seeker and trial -n- error entrepreneur in the beginning of starting a real estate journey.

We’re a lively, hardworking couple with entrepreneur minds always looking for a challenge and making friends!

thank you Kasan,  I would love to do a house hack, the challenge is finding a property that is less than $1MM in Brooklyn.
