and how do i cover this up?

I would then probably consider putting down the min. downpayment on a duplex up to a fourplex, for a place to live and rent out the remainder to  cover the mortgage and expenses.  

So the question is - why would someone entering a deal/assignment need a gator to cover EMD?

Great property, perfect setup for a duplex with separate driveways, entrances, back patios w/ storage, brand new roof, plumbing, newer HVAC, appliances, flooring, etc.

The idea of house hacking a multi-family property is a great way to cover living expenses while building equity.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

@Noah Schulz what does the lease state about payment and what period the payments cover?

- Insurance policies (some may not cover rent by room)- Friction among tenants regarding common spaces

I'm trying to figure out if I can get the consistency in MTR for the price I need to cover the mortgage.
