I currently own a few rentals in different states, but since getting my real estate license i have started looking at family and friends for prospecting new deals as a new agent.I have a family member who has been renting houses for as long as i can remember between her and her boyfriend, but they both have some bad credit due to falling behind a few years back after both losing their jobs and juggling life for a while tell they found new jobs.I am a bit unsure about this idea still due to the fact that i have been running numbers on multi-family homes to purchase in the near future and turn into rentals, but i want to help them if it's a viable idea...I wanted to get your opinion on maybe purchasing a house based on their needs and running a lease option on the house for them to purchase down the road when they have the credit again....Right now they are renting a 3/1/1 for $1200/month and there is a lot of 3bed houses around them that are in the 100k and below that would meet the needs of them, im just worried about buying the house for them tieing up my own money and not have enough financing available to continue purchasing investment properties as my rental income from all my current rentals is my only income coming in right now as i start the career of an agent.

Would I be better off waiting a few years until my boyfriend and I get married and buy something together?

Our current circumstances/goals are key here... my partner is my boyfriend, we're in our mid-twenties, we don't have children and we look to invest in the same area that we currently live in.  

I don't have an exterminator that I can recommend (my boyfriend takes care of this task) but I always advise property owners of multi family units to be proactive because they are such a problem here in this area.

Later to find out that they moved in their boyfriend/girlfriend without written consent.

My boyfriend and I live in Chippewa.  

To check on the tenant and the house weekly to make sure the boyfriend didn't just move in or the adult kids just move in, and that bad things are not happening in your house or that your tenant didn't just move out in the night in the middle of winter and turn off the gas, but not the water.For my $15,000 which my IRA is looking to invest, I am going to get to know the major players in my market or any market.  

They then moved in her sister and her boyfriend, they are not charging them for rent.....  

They are on the lease together  and the boyfriend has moved out.

Hello, I have a boyfriend/girlfriend tenant situation where the boyfriend is accused/charged with a domestic violence incident.
