That way you wouldn't need an extra policy.

I just wondered if working with one of these mentor groups would add an extra layer of expertise, or if it wasn't worth the hassle.

They like extra room to avoid accidents, etc....Just my $0.02....

You'll likely pull a few hundred extra dollars and will will get shorter leases that could work better for your traveling.

Before you close, can the rent from your buddy and the midterm tenant cover your mortgage, taxes, insurance, plus a bit extra?

I’ve consulted several different people and they have told me in my situation as an investor expanding their portfolio it makes more sense to keep the extra cash as opposed to paying down rentals.

I’ve had the most success with quality for lower cost by hiring guys who have full time jobs doing the same or similar for extra cash during the evenings, but then progress is slow.

Especially as you two plan to start your lives together, you’ll likely want that extra privacy.

They're pretty organized, but expect annual inspections and some extra paperwork. 

I invoiced an extra 25 dollars for part of the cleaning that I needed done extra and it was disregarded.
