To meet the terms of a primary residence loan, you will need to live in the property for a year.

For my 2nd home that my wife and I currently live in, we were able to obtain a 5.5% rate through the builder DR Horton for a new home.

The day I purchased it I reached out and introduced myself to all four tenants and one tenant told me that she was currently living with a relative because her electric got shut off.  

You have to be living under a rock (if you are a MF investor) to not know the challenges MF is facing right now.

I will most likely use an FHA in order to live in 1 side of the house.

I lived in the area for a bit, and saw the high AirDNA rating for the area. 

Wading into the property investment waters.

If it's your primary residence, you'll be able to keep any gains tax free if you've lived there 2 of the last 5 years.

Thanks An FHA loan is 3.5% down and you need to live in the house for at least 1 year.

Quote from @Vincent Pierce: I need help deciding if I should keep my primary residence and rent it out or sell it and then move into a new one, I have already done a cash out refi of 60k if we rent it we would get 150-250/ month profit not counting cap ex and if we sold we could get 5k-20k property is worth 250-280 ARV , the property has brand new roof hvac and hardwood floors with in the last year or two we will also be using va loan to buy. ps my wife wants to sell and I want to rent it out @Vincent PierceI think you need to ask yourself, “where do I want to live?”
