Skipping legal help here, especially for a 50/50 LLC, is asking for trouble.Disclaimer: While I’m a licensed attorney, I’m not your attorney.

Buy a property that perhaps has a legal suite or a duplex.

Documenting erosion severity, prior concerns, and the contractor's assessment could help support a claim. 2.

They should get their attorney to draft documents for you to review such as a loan agreement.

They then did the STR model (with permits) and are able to cashflow a substantial amount.However, this only legally works while it's your primary residence.I've got other friends that used their VA loan to secure the rare plex in Alexandria.

I'm also relieved that I hired a local real estate attorney to help create a county-specific, legal MTR agreement for our house-hacking situation.

The good thing about househacking a legal multifamily unit is that lender allows you to use the vacated units of 75% market rent as an income to offset the potential current mortgage.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PART,  document all communication and decisions about the repair requests.

Is it a legal 3-family on the city card?
