I will be there, although can not make to this Nov. meeting.If you are in the KC area on the 10th of December, join us at the MAREI meeting at the Double Tree in Overland Park.

@Joshua Morency I started out by househacking a 3 bedroom rental allowing me to basically live rent free for a few years while I saved up enough money to buy a condo. 

I bought in 2013 and I plan to double down on the market when there is a shift.

Hi, I am looking to buy my first investment property and need advice on what questions should I ask the listing agent.First let me give you background information on the property, Bedrooms- 4, Bathroom- 2, Build- 1994, is listed as a condo.

The first being - don't bring your friends or family into the mix :)Since it sounds like you're pretty solidified in your friend moving in, and it could be a good first roomie, so just to get your feet wet... i'll double down on Laura's advice - do a lease, for the legalities, but i also highly recommend some sort of written (we call it a) Room Mate Agreement.

It's doubled and it doesn't appear to be slowing down!

You could potentially install a mini split for the downstairs unit so they can control it themselves but that's a more costly remodel.

I am looking to convert the top unit (a 3 bedroom, 1 bath - close to hospitals) to a fully furnished unit for mid term rentals.

Credit card debt can be a double edge sword because after the zero interest teaser rate runs out, you really have problems.
