Housing prices are booming and have nearly doubled since covid. 

But I could be wrong on this and will have to double check that. 

I will double check with my contact there, but the response that you guys have provided put me at ease.

Despite mortgage rates being double what they were two years ago, the overall borrowing environment remains favorable for state and local entities.Key initiatives driving this surge include efforts by entities like the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, which recently launched a $425 million bond sale aimed at providing affordable mortgages to over 2,700 families.

So the market is only pricing in a tiny chance of rate cut on May 1, but is pricing in a high likelihood of a rate cut by July 31.They Said It“With a 0.7% increase from January to February 2024, which is almost double the monthly increase recorded before the pandemic, spring home price gains are already off to a strong start despite continued mortgage rate volatility.

It isn't reasonable to force the applicant to pay twice because you decided to change your application screening process. exactly this - don’t make the tenant double pay  

So you cannot use that property as collateral for a loan. 2) Again, the house is not your name anymore so there are no depreciation benefits.3) From my understanding (and I'm not a tax guy so double check this with someone who is) is that your taxable income would be calculated based on the capital gains over and above your initial purchase/capital improvements and recaptured depreciation (for a SFR, the property, not land, depreciates 1/27.5th each year) but the amount you lend back would not be taxable until you receive that income.

Me and my soon to be fiance will be double income-no kids for a few years and are looking to maximize the opportunities that come with that.

Rest assured if that happens you won't have to inquire about that one they stay pretty on top of that sort of thing. in our area even with an increase they tend to trail market rents at least double digits. 

I'd double check that it is a service dog vs an emotional support animal (pet with papers someone paid for online).What is the rationale for charging more rent?
