Thanks for the explanation, that jogs my memory, and I agree with you that was the reason.Also, when I then took the tenant back to court for non payment, the courts did order them to pay on a payment plan. 

But the sites I advertise (or help clients setup and make profitable) range from parenting blogs to e-commerce electronics.But I wasn't going to go into all of those details here because the primary focus is real estate.

Owning a primary certainly won't HELP you to flip houses, but whether or not it hurts you requires deeper knowledge of your particular situation.

Hi Everyone,I am going back and forth on renting or selling our primary residence.  

If they want to do 100% and have better terms than my bank then all the better but otherwise I'd just want enough to pay my primary lender the down payment they require.

I'm a real estate agent down in Bedford and my primary business is multifamily investments. 

All I'd want them to do would be to stay in the house as people check it out, and hand out print-outs I'd give them such as a 1-pager and seller's disclosure.The house was my primary residence originally, but I then rented it for many years.

Its much better to use someone that deals with it as their primary business rather than never having done it before.Best of luck and if I can help you out at all, let me know!

I've never really liked the idea of using my primary home as a cash machine, so that's where I'm feeling a bit hesitant, but with rates so low, I'm thinking, if I'm ever going to do it now may be the time.  

Furthermore the majority of agents don't own property outside their primary residence.
