Using Your MFH Investment Property to Help....Your Mom...

[Steve DellaPelle]

Hello all!

I am having a difficult time making a decision and I would love some input.

My situation:

I am 24 and house hacking a 4-unit property. My plan is to fill all of the units and move out in 1-2 years to maximize cash flow.

My mom has been living in the basement of a friends house for over 3 years and she is ready to move out but the problem is she only makes just above minimum wage so she cannot afford to live on her own...

Initially I bought this property to make money but I am now finding it can be a huge help to her...

What do I do in this situation?

My cash flow would surely hurt but I would be making my mom happy :)

Cash Flow w/out Mom: ~$1,400/month

Cash Flow w/ Mom ~$600/month

I would hate to put this decision into numbers but it's an investment so I am torn.
