This time, she agreed, and the sale finally went through.This experience reminded me how seemingly minor items can hold enormous sentimental weight.

I was just curious if anybody here has any personal feedback on investing in that area and can shed some light (other than numbers) on why that place would be worthwhile.I apologize in advance to anybody who lives there and loves it.

its going to get wild  with all the sub to and then gap lenders jumping in ala Morby playbook.. going to be some tears shed.

Yeah I can see using the welcome aboard forums to pump up your comment numbers to make it look like they've been around a while before trying to sneak a pitch for some scam guru trash  I think warm welcomes are nice, but the carry more weight from people who have been around.

Having someone who has owned and operated a similar asset is worth its weight in gold. 

Worth its weight in gold.

It was quite extensive, all new electrical, hvac, plumbing as well as foundation, painting, floors and yardwork and demo of shed.

here is the situation. i left a really good paying job to take care of my 81 year old parents because my dad is chronically ill and my mom is almost there. i wont go into too much detail, but my sis doesnt help them. ill leave it at that. we have a person who comes twice a week to help with cleaning and other household tasks. i carry the bulk of the weight cooking their meals, running errands, grocery shopping, picking up meds, and taking them to dr appointments. its a full time job. i get a small salary of $1000 a month from a care giver sub contractor for the VA. ive been paying my bills with what savings ive had, but only have a few months of funds left. i own a duplex. i have over 200k in equity. i live in texas and texas has weird laws about refi and heloc/heloans when the property is 4 units or less and owner occupied. i would rather not sell, but if thats my only option i will have to at some point.does anyone have any advice or possibly be able to point me to lenders who might be able to work with my situation?

We converted an existing shed to a 1 bed 1 bath apartment and now rent out the bigger house for great cash flow.
