5️⃣ Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Solar panels = tax credits!

To their credit they have had good communication with us and have hired the last exterminator that got the job done.

@Sharad BagriI would open a bank account at a local bank or credit union that will lend on the properties you are buying.

That is something a lot of the smaller credit unions lack.

Credit unions are often more flexible.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

Should I check into local smaller banks here or Credit Unions? 

HI Abigail,Acquiring a loan, lenders always look into 3 metrics Income/Assets/Credit.

@Brandon StainesOption 1: do nothing you stay on mortgage and good is you still own 50% of house but bad is if she defaults then it hurts your credit tooOption 2: have her buy you out but that would require a new mortgage at a much higher rateNot much else you can do.

They'll want all the normal stuff; bank account info, LES for several months, hard credit check, etc.
