After owning the property for 1 week and putting in a lot of sweat equity, I've concluded that I want to keep the Inherited tenants based on the condition of their living space and the quality of the people, Knowing I want to keep them to save myself the headache of a  turnover and vacancy of a projected move out If I were to suddenly increase rents. 

If the rate is reasonable then it may make sense to try to save fast to get to the 3.5% down payment on a double or triple - househacking may allow you to increase your savings rate and pay down that loan even faster.As for estimating costs, closing in NY factor at least 1% of the mortgage amount for tax, plus $1500-2000 for lawyer, title and fees, then the amount required by the bank for escrow will depend on the actual property taxes and insurance.

There was a recent webinar, bottom line, it looks like Darryl Heller sold off many of the ATMs, didn't pay the people who put the cash in them, didn't pay the stores that have them on site, isn't providing information to David Zook's team that the court has ordered and is racking up something like $50k+ a day for not doing so...it is a complete mess and seems like there are only a fraction of the ATMs that might still be producing money but the company hired by Zook to get their hands around all of this is running into many roadblocks because Heller's team isn't providing info. 

Thank you so much for info!

Both on one loan may save you a bit up front in costs, but it'll make it more complicated if you ever decide to keep one and sell one.

It can just be held in a savings account, no special account needed, but I always keep mine in an account separate from anything else.

Are you vendor direct could be a lot cheaper on countertops, and could save you money..

The pros of not using an agent are you save a few grand the cons are who is going to be negotiating and creating the offer and purchase and sale agreement.
