So when considering your entire "capital stack" I think it is worth opening up a HELOC on your primary residence to make your equity more liquid, whether you end up doing another house hack or staying in your current home forever. 

@Dave Allen  I don't know if any lenders can comment, they may suggest a different type of loan but if you are half owners  I would think you would split the income but if you were living there I see why you did it the way you did.

If it's sporadic,  IMO it will appear slimy and that the landlord just all the sudden thinks he deserves more money.  

Because one person might think that they're responsible for this while the other person thought that they were responsible for the same thing.

I found this week’s property and it looks like they a good job finding a property that is eye catching and potentially cash flowing:https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/73292-20th-Ave-Desert-Hot...Here are the numbers:https://www.bnbcalc.com/analysis/73292-20th-ave-desert-hot-s...What do you think of this investment opportunity?

You need to think about what your plan is for health insurance because a bad turn can wreck you financially.

@Nick BednarczykI think people also need to understand that fed rates are not directly correlated to mortgage ratesMortgage rates are more in line with the 10 year treasury which could remain high if we continue to spend money like a drunken sailor

Unless there is an offer deadline, I personally think order of offers has influence on sellers.

But if the county re-assesses every 3 or 4 years, you will pay market prop taxes soon enough.I’ve been an investor for 46 years and this is NOT something I would do.Over this time, I have seen investors get themselves in trouble by being “too smart by half” often with creative tax structures that end up causing trouble but this is a another danger zone in my mind.I’d think long and hard before embarking on what you propose.If the acquisition doesn’t stand in its own merits and one needs to resort to chicanery to make it work maybe it’s not a deal.just my two cents.good luck,Arn

So, I would study whatever complimentary avenues of study that you think best suit you.
