But if there’s any uncertainty about timing, I’d lean toward a bridge loan or even negotiating a rent-back period after selling, just to keep things flexible.If you have enough equity in your current home, the HELOC gives you the freedom to move forward without rushing the sale and since interest is only paid on what you use, it keeps things manageable during the overlap period.The only thing to watch is timing and market conditions.

If you go read or listen to a dozen real estate books, you'll see the overlapping ideas and those are the key concepts.     

Sequence matters: don’t violate occupancy by moving out too soon, avoid overlapping FHA intents, and confirm seasoning on any cash‑out refi you’ll use to pay off houses.

There are good prices, and good areas, sometimes these overlap, sometimes they don't. 

You'll learn to vet tenants (roommates in this case), maintain the property (overlaps with the first point), and get a feel for what it takes to be an investor at scale. 3.

This view overlooks bridge and RTL loans — terms used less often.In reality, there's so much overlap that it’s silly to differentiate.

The market has softened and you'll likely need to join local groups and get active with promoting the property in those groups and even play matchmaker with 2-3 people looking for a room with overlapping search criteria. 

Rolled out two rolls only needed to overlap 1 foot but did a 4-foot overlap to fit this private drive.

@Christopher Rubiojust like @Travis Timmons, i am going to chime in (since you have a bunch of overlapping threads going) and then i shall also go away.out of state BRRRR is spectacularly high risk. 

Quote from @Kelly Schroeder: I would agree there is overlap in property management and flipping properties for lessons on getting things handled along with managing what needs to be managed.
