Regardless, it is not quite as robotic as it used to be, and building that solid team (including a good mortgage broker who knows these guidelines) has become really important.Definitely seeing some of those hang-ups as well, never a dull moment

I’m planning to live there for the required 12 months, and my long-term goal is to eventually move into a larger multifamily—possibly a fourplex—while turning the current place into a rental. 

You can eventually go get a HELOC or biz LOC if want access to money eventually when the time does arise, but this can allow you to get closer to having a free & clear home that is un-leveraged, and has little counter party risk.

We are planning to move in with family rent-free in 2 months to save up even more for our wedding/ eventual home cost.We live in southern CA and the RE market here is very expensive.

I've done some research and have a strategy, but I want to do this in the most legally sound and tax-efficient way possible while avoiding unforeseen pitfalls.My Goal:To consolidate my two current rental properties into a property that will initially serve as a rental and eventually become my primary residence in retirement.My Plan:Here is the step-by-step strategy I've put together: Sell my two rental properties (VA Loans) and execute a 1031 exchange, rolling the proceeds from both sales into the purchase of a single investment property.

I've used HML and going to break from that as well (if possible).What I’m not looking to do:Bird doggingDriving for dollarsFlips (right now)What I am open to:Remote-friendly strategiesFee-based or revenue-share modelsCo-hosting midterm rentals (MTR) for owners as a bridge before eventually owning more myself (strongly considering)For those who’ve built ~$30K–$60K/year in RE income with low capital and mostly remote operations — what strategies actually worked for you?
