It's possible the tenant is better at this sort of work than both of us but you never really know...If I were in your shoes, I'd have a licensed contractor do plumbing and electrical but that will cost you more.I guess it comes down to whether or not you want to pay more or take a chance the tenant is doing it correctly, in which case you can simply be happy that the tenant is happy and also that he's saving you $, at least in the short run.

We can hear when they're walking, even louder when they have heels or dress shoes on, and the kids loud crying screams when he's getting disciplined, etc.Where we draw the line is when the kid starts bouncing a ball or running in the house.

Hi Guys,Any finance/economist types able to bring this issue into focus for a long time real estate broker/investor:  Recently the 90-day interest rate rose above the 10-year rate. 

On the flip side, they might have some contacts for you as well which could help you finance the property, but if I were in your shoes, I would hit up every avenue I could to secure affordable financing for your project before pursuing this further.

If i'm in your shoes, i am continuing to flip the single family properties while looking diligently for good 2-4+ unit BRRRR candidates.

I recognize that I could very well have rose colored glasses and there is substantial risk on the horizon. 

. 😀 Rose,I am SO sorry I was unable to meet with you.

If I were in your shoes, the only way I would not purchase a house hack after paying down the credit cards would be if I could not due to the high debt to income ratio. 

If I switch hats and put myself in the insurer's shoes, I can see their points.

If I were in your shoes, I would do two things -Thing #1 - Make sure you and your wife are on the same page - You will have an uphill battle if you guys want different things out of life - BUT if you are both working towards the same goal, it will be a fun ride!
