When it comes to furniture/design it depends.

@Brian Dolbeare This is a "it depends" question for sure, but in most cases street parking is pretty common here.

'well it depends'.

I’ve been a serial house hacker in the greater Boston area so happy to connect and share some lessons learned.Multifams inventories are quite low depending on your budget and location preferences.  

So some things will be easier and more convenient (one roof to repair) but many tasks will simply be a multiple based on the number of doors.

I think this question is dependent upon location.

You could use a HELOC, but with VA loans you have an allotment so you can get loans on more than one home depending on how much bandwidth they give you.

Depends on the property honestly. 

Hey @Jonathan Sanchez, a lot will depend on your area.If you are buying in a saturated area with lots of competition, then using an aggregator like Pricelabs to help make your pricing accurate is handy.If you are in an area that has less, then simply looking at nearby properties that are similar to yours on VRBO and AirBNB.

With your brother’s $50K equity already in the property, this should make the loan-to-value ratio favorable for refinancing.HELOC monthly payment on $68K: ~$300 (depends on your rate and term).Lease payment from brother: $800/month.Future mortgage (refinance $68K over 30 years at 6%): ~$400/month
