I'm going through a divorce a determining whether I want to buy my spouse out of our primary home or sell it and split the proceeds.

If the location is home to high job and population growth along with great school systems, chances are you are on to something!

You could get your rental listed today and make your offer with a Home Sale Contingency.

If so, you purposely DON’T want it to be a business you want it to be your primary home for 2 years so that you pay zero taxes.

One goal of mine is to also own a second home in NOLA so this might be the opportunity I'm looking for.Looking forward to any advice I can get.Thanks,Colin 

There's no need to wait six months - while they continue smashing the car - just to stand in front of a judge and prove ownership.If someone enters a home and the homeowner calls the police to report a crime, police can quickly verify ownership and remove the illegal occupant.

I was thinking about owner financing a property to a buyer and I need some help to figure out if this is a good deal or not.I paid $235,000 for the home.

I would recommend you find the exact wording that makes the existing home not eligible to STR.  

Other avenues to find contractors include: reviewing the neighborhood for signs of contractors already working in the neighborhoods that you are targeting, asking the town/borough for contractors that pull lots of permits (aka get hired a lot) in your area, as well as inquiring withe local Home Depot/Lowes early in the morning and seeing who is active.

There is a lack of inventory, so retail buyers are picking up homes quickly.You could look at small MF.
