I call them Micro hotels/co-op living—12-bedroom duplexes with 12 baths and two standard common living room kitchen spaces. 

My work is mainly with investors and I co- host a women's investing in Allentown group.

Try to get preapproved from a local loan broker or Co-op. 

I'm the Co-Founder at Obie and there's been a few times in this thread that a similar question has come up.

I know I could have a family member co-sign a mortgage with me but not sure the best way to approach that conversation and what incentives I’d be able to offer to make it worth while for them other then their “familial duties” haha. 

Getting a mother-in-low to co-sign is not the answer.

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: That's why a lot of us do co-hosting or rental arbitrage as we purchase property.

It's a great way to expand your real estate business if you can find individuals willing to co-sign.

They were taxing as a fourplex, but the CO said it was a triplex.I found out when I went to try to refi with the bank.

Do you have anyone that could co-sign for you?
