I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

Houston's got a lively mid-term rental scene, great for folks staying a few months.

Could be a 2-4 unit or a live in flip.

Hopefully you guys can help answer this for me......I live in West Virginia and primarily invest outside the state. 

This family member does not live in the condo and it's valued upwards of 1M.

There is a perfect recipe brewing where inventory is at an all time low, with interest rates significantly higher than we're use to, capitalized by the insane economic struggles that are going on in our every day lives.... 

I also never lived east of 33rd Ave at that time. 

When you live in that duplex for 2 years and then sell you'll be able to take 50% of the profit tax free (the allocation for the side you lived in). 

The company I currently use for my other investment homes said they don't offer management for any co living... unless everyone in the home is on one lease.

Video is very important, shoot walk through video and have that.
