Purchasing a property for your child while they attend college can be a strategic investment and a great way to provide them with stable housing.

Would the info you provided still be the same?

At this level of scale, it is almost the same as running an extra unit.

It happened to coincide with Hurrican Harvey and we flooded during the rehab. 212 extended the HM loan without any extra fees for 4 months until December 31 2017.

Are there providers you have worked with that you might suggest? 

If the answer is yes, then it's a no brainer to make minimum payments on your 2.8% interest rate mortgage, and use the funds that you would have paid extra to pay it down faster, to either invest in more real estate, the market, or anywhere else where you can get a ROI > 2.8%.If the answer is no, then feel free to aggressively pay it down as fast as possible, to become debt-free faster, and just have a large amount of money in savings or to splurge with.The bottom line is that your 2.8% mortgage is GOOD debt.

BC I know has a property purchase tax for everyone and an extra one for foreign investors.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Most investors don’t even need an LLC and a holding company is extra, extra overkill though IMO.

Does anyone know of any real estate brokers in California that offers the MLS-only membership as I don't want to pay all the extra fees to be a part of CAR/NAR.
