I pay fees, then i pay 150 /360 * interest. ( i will pay 5 months and after that will continue paying interest till it matures).In your example j get a sense i will pay more Heloc.

I also lend money but not in the USA at rates which in the USA would be considered userous but in other places are quite common and quite legal as well.  

If your role in all of this is not already clearly defined, it would probably make sense to pass.

I’ve seen an LOX written to say some versions of the following; 1) This new property has a garage and I need a garage. 2) The new property has more/less sq. ft. and we need more/less space due to x (having a child, downsizing, etc.) 3) The new property is in a different, more desireable school zone (if applicable). 4) The new property is closer to where I work (or go to school, etc.)Although it isn’t always an ideal living situation for some people, I would highly encourage anyone in your situation that is investment-minded to use each of your VA loans back to back for each of you to buy a 4-unit building as the numbers tend to work best on those here in Clarksville and it would make sense, as long as the numbers work, of course, to get as many units as possible with zero out of pocket while you can.

Until we can raise enough knowledge, street Cred and capital to get into the medium to large multi-family where commercial financing makes sense.

Financially it probably makes sense to sign a lease with these applicants rather than leave the property vacant for an unknown period, even if it means not collecting pet rent or additional deposit.My question is: Would you push the issue for the "service dogs" and make the applicants provide a letter from a medical professional? 

That's a very common practice.

The way you described sounds like they already sensed you are not so sure what you want. 

Thank you all for the thoughts.I agree, I think it makes sense for me to jump in and just learn and find out.

@Melissa Anderson yea that assumption is valid but people can be married and live separately.. it’s very common.
