As a former Cream City resident, I'm interested in looking at deals there.

Just do you research and homework and actually invest time and money into flying to those areas.I'm in Georgia now but except for my principal residence own no real estate here.

Of city residents polled, 77 percent picked more housing and parks as their most desired additions to downtowns. 

When I see a trust, I think they are more for personal residence and possibly not for investing. 

Once you convert a property to rental it is now an  investment property but you can still take the primary residence exemption if you qualify for it.If you don't then a 1031 might be appropriate. 

We had a gradual leak from a waterline under our floorboards in our primary residence.  

I found this deal through a contractor that I’ve done a good amount of business with on my personal residence and in some of his other ventures.

When I was enlisted I had 3 homes that I acquired through in 3 states, I used my VA loan for my primary residence and I took the other two loan from the states of Virginia and Florida, I had to provide a lot of paperwork, but in the end, it was worth it. 

. $250K HELOC available (against my primary residence) that I want to use to invest in residential rental property.

Are you looking for someone to do the most cost-efficient work to make it a rental, or higher-end work for a primary residence?
