Generally speaking, is the cost of refinancing a mortgage usually more, less, or the same as getting a regular mortgage for purchasing a house as primary resident?

I have a couple of flips (residential home and 7 acre parcel) under my belt and I'm currently working the purchase of a 3 acre parcel as well as the purchase of another primary residence as we speak.

Anyone know of a creative way to get around the 80% minimum equity refinance rule in Texas for a primary residence.

Multiple dwellings on property including Villa, resident quarters, guest cottages, restaurant/bar, pool.

Buying right can sometimes eliminate taking cash out of your own pocket and therefore leave the need for rehabs very small.If the property you are purchasing going to be your personal residence?

It has to do with the risk, if you can'tmake a payment are you going to pay on your primary residence or on your investment?

Section 121 says that the first $250K ($500K married filing jointly) of gain is TAX FREE if it's been your principle residence for 24 of the previous 60 months.

Does anyone offer a general policy to cover me no matter where my property resides?

I'm a beginner and the only house I bought is my current residence.

I started putting every extra nickel onto mortgages in the mid '80s, haven't had a mortgage since the late '90s, even on my personal residence.
