It's a private loan.

So if you are planning on keeping it, my understanding is that you would only need to live there for 12 months in order to qualify for low down payment loan options if you wanted to purchase another owner occupied property.

Listed Rent would be between 3500-4200 per month depending on a local property management company strategy.We have assessed our budget and goals while in Europe and would not want to maintain a mortgage in USA (vacant) AND a rental payment in EU.further details: we are 3 years into the loan at 2.625% int, primary and only residence owned, house will need 2 new AC in next 2 years, water heater, and driveway repairs, would only rent with a property management company as we will NOT want to manage from abroad. 

You are not allowed to provide personal guarantee on a loan with IRA-owned property so the only financing that would be allowed is non-recourse.

My first property was based on a VA loan.

My contractor is willing to install either a shower door or a curtain.

**Assuming this loan is assumable.

My husband has decided he will install he windows because he has done it before.

@Krishna Rana- welcome ..one of the best  1st steps to take will be to get pre approved for a loan for a hypotehtical  purchase scenario ...even if you arent ready to buy ...this will help  educate  and organize and prepare yourself ...good luck  ( plus its  free )

If you took a $100,000 loan at a 8% interest rate, you would owe a total of $8,000 in interest.
