They were originally proposing a ban on non-owner occupied rentals, and a cap on only running one short term rental from your primary residence.

Trying to narrow down exactly what you are asking as you want to learn about the business but is it for passively investing as a whole which will allow you to focus on your primary occupation?

Even in the case of dual agency, where the agent represents both sides, their primary fiduciary responsibility is to the seller first.Slow down.

My question is whether I should take cash out of my primary property (no mortgage  ~ 550k value ) 30 year at 3.635% or if I should cash out of some of my rentals (180-250k give or take depending on which one) 30 year at 4.125%.  

Now that our careers are a bit less stressful and our primary house renovation is complete, we knew it's time to start our real estate investing.Our goal for 2020 is to add three properties to our portfolio. 

Seems like I keep finding ones for buying primary homes, not investment properties.Thanks.

One route would be to sell both your SF rental and primary house (assuming you have a primary) and use that cash as a DP into a 4-plex that you house hack, which would allow you to do a 3.5-5% DP instead of 20-25%.

If you haven’t used up your eligibility on the first loan, you can use it for your next primary residence.

Denver is about to pass new laws, for instance, further defining the primary residence rule.

@Robin Casper I have heard of other agents doing this; when we bought our primary residence in 2009 it was a short sale that was being rented by the agent.
