Maybe something that doesn't quite make sense for a pure investor but since I will be living in it for a while it makes sense for me. 

My question is, if I purchase a rental property purely as an investment and I don't live in it, could I still qualify for a first time homebuyers programs when I go to buy a house to live in?

Been thinking about BRRRR instead of a pure flip since building a rental portfolio is the ultimate goal, but the equity just isn’t there for that “repeat” part of the BRRRR.

Your best bet is to get a couple contractors/handymen to look at it and price it out because without all the specifics price is just pure guessing.

Once you do that for a few years you can move out and repeat the process or start buying pure rental properties.

Then after the repairs and rent increases, you can basically do a BRRR paying off your heloc and you now have your home and a 8 to 12 unit apartment that is pure cashflow.  

In the past if you are moving to a single member LLC purely for liability protection most banks will not have an issue with it.

How, or why, should it be any different with purely private sector mortgages, since these are a legacy of the insurance industry?

We are purely online retail so would like to avoid payroll if I can.

Of which both sides will be renovated and ready for tenants in the next few months.We're ready for our next property and would like to do one more hack before buying pure investment from the onset.I don't want to kill our cash cow, but I can't ignore the fact that selling at a peak could put us in a position to grow our cash cow heard.What are your thoughts?
