I definitely plan on doing a lot more research on it, as I need to figure out how it'll impact my eventual personal home purchase there...don't think my wife will go for a unit in a multi...Again, thanks for the warm welcome!

Hi all,What impact did the new 2014 mortgage laws have on renting back to the sellers after closing?

Pride of ownership has a big impact on people's perception.

That is going to be the biggest impact on the rates.

The bigger the size the longer it takes as the project is scrutinized heavily as having a larger impact for the whole area.

It is the same argument that is causing deep-pocketed companies to roll over at any threat of product liability litigation against them, and we have thousands of litigation lawyers and a clogged up court system to prove it.Again, I get that you have to balance your short-term picture, but don't ignore the potential long-term impact.

They can also point you in the right direction as far as any impact  fees, etc.  

Remember to take into account depreciation when you calculate your costs and the impact to your cashflow. 

Annexation will also have a substantial impact on appreciation as well.If I had a lot of equity in my rental, selling one and buying three isn't a bad idea either.  

Dave NA thanks for correcting, I should have clarified my statement.I meant to say...Probably best not to include ALL the rental income directly with your primary income - you get taxed at a higher rate.There are legal ways to minimize the tax impact on your income.
