Out of state friends we take to the lake always comment on how amazing and beautiful the lake is and how big it is. 

See what we can do now to build equity instead of waiting on the LV market to improve and continue renting here in Vegas (we have a really good rate with our landlord) and instead buy our personal home in Texas as a secondary residence so that we can start creating equity sooner (its a beautiful manufactured home so not a huge mortgage).

Now that you've expanded into a new venture, it's only natural that certain people are better suited to certain activities than others and a good accountant is no exception.

There seems to be a lot of speculation in the post and the answers provided can only be speculative in nature given the information.

I suppose legally you could, if you fully disclosed the non arms length nature but, no lender in business, or wanting to stay in business would do it.At the end of the day, what you want, while it may make sense to you and your parents, just isn't a scenario that happens.  

It's monopolistic in nature especially when it comes to transaction involving a commission.

Also, preserve the beautiful rowhouses made of brick.

In all, we were able to do a cash-out refinance after 1 year and got our entire investment, including down payment, back into our personal accounts and we still have a cash flowing property.The beauty of smaller town and communities is that often big-time investors are not looking at them as closely and they can cash flow quite well, at the sacrifice of "natural" appreciation.

This home was purchased, thoughtfully renovated, and beautifully furnished for use as a mid-term rental in Richmond, VA.

Since last year of November, Fannie and Freddie has allowed borrowers to put min 5% down for conventional loans and being able to invest multifamily up to 4units.Also, the beauty of FHA is that it allows you to put 3.5% down payment to invest in 1-4 units.
