So my wife and I are looking at options to add a property without having to put a ton of money down and thinking about changing our primary residence, however, still want to stay in our current home at least part time. What are the minimal requirements to have a property legally be our primary residence. I know we need our mail sent there, utility bills in our name, and supposedly stay there "a majority of the time", but is there anybody out there that has a better hold on this?

Feel free to direct message me as well and we can text or talk on the phone about this as well. I am just trying to do whatever it takes to make our portfolio grow, but obviously want to stay within the laws of our country. I am in coastal NC.

Thanks!!

@Steve Garner, Thanks Steve! I may be reaching out to you sooner rather than later. Impressed by your profile. Something in which my wife and I are striving towards. Appreciate the info!

Talk Soon!

Thanks Matthew! I'll give him a look.

As my wife and I begin to put some velocity towards our real estate portfolio, I am searching for a real estate savvy CPA in the Wilmington, NC area. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Thanks!

Agreed, I've read 2/3, with Set for Life is on my list, but I've read and enjoyed the other 2. Really looking forward to talking REI with everyone. My wife may or may not come with, depending on her schedule. She is a local Realtor.

See y'all on the 6th!

Hi Everyone,

I am a 25 year old, soon to be Doctor of Physical Therapy, and applying heavily to outpatient clinics in the Savannah, GA and surrounding areas and looking for a great spot (safe, homey, and reasonable) to begin my home ownership, first owner/occupant experience, or rental properties. What are the best areas around there to invest and/or live? Ideally would love to be as close to the water as possible, but open to anything! Thanks in advance for everyone's help and advice! Looking forward to getting more involved with Bigger Pockets as time goes on!
