I have an HEL on my primary residence right now at 3.5% / 10 yrs at $100k.

What are major concerns for the decision; and how many started out flipping their primary residence and rehabbing while living there?

I know the major industries currently employing residents and I know what industries are moving in/moving out of the area.

In the past, the FMR has usually been lower than local rents, but with the spike in residents and the popularity of Nashville, sales, rents and property values have skyrocketed, as I am sure you are aware.

I'm a first time investor and would like to "house hack," so I can establish residence there and at least cover the mortgage with the other rooms.The real questions that I don't know how to answer are the due to the fact that I'm a 1099 and have been for years.

FINEX is great at HELOCs on primary residence, and I they had that 10% down with a 10% 2nd deal on primary last year I think, but for my refinance they wanted to charge me over 3 points... 

Hello BP amigosJust need some help related to listsourceIf I am looking for an absentee owner and I want to know the "length of ownership" can I use the "length of residency" as an optionListsource does not have an option for "length of ownership" , so I was just wondering if i can use the "length of residency"  insteadThanks for the feeback

So most of the residents there are tenants, for obvious reasons and most of the actual owners are absentee landlords.

The seller had tried to work with the neighbor to get a boundary adjustment and they were originally going to sign-off, but then went dark and stopped communicating.

Can I opt to make it a primary residence?
