On my father's side, I have a lot of Scandanavian blood, folks who discovered America long before Columbus.

Cost benefit analysis to me looks something like this:Don't pay rewards and costs: Reward: Reinvest the $3,600 into your firms best available project ROICost: Bad blood with the agent and bad reputation with anyone who he has influence with???

ADU's can be rented to anyone whereas Family Member Units are only for persons related to the property owner by blood, marriage or adoption. 

I am still circulating among service providers, practitioners, and parents.

I put a lot of my own blood, sweat and tears into the renovation and really tried to make it a place that we could enjoy while keeping in mind that it would ultimately become a rental...so I thought. 

Make sure you have plenty of reserves and you have great tenants.one of the biggest fallacies I see on BP is people thinking rentals are immune from a downturn or major correction.. some areas yes some areas its a blood bath.. and landlords who have limited reserves lose properties. 

Curious if investors would qualify as a co-signer on blood relative home if relative lives in the home.

I don't remember,) we still had to wait a bit so as not to provide the fleas with any food(yes, I mean human blood.)This craziness occurred after I'd been in the business for 13 years.

you can negotiate to buy out the lease if the lessor will go for it. its a tough business now in our area.. some really smart young bloods up in Seattle have put together a fantastic on line way of following the sale. along with they own the RE company and the HML.. they provide the check they do all the work you simply need 20% equity and they will bid for you and make you the loan they will have the redemetions rights figure out etc.  

The one thing they are no longer able to OK that throws some folks is free standing electric heaters that circulate oil, which are now considered a fire hazard as they retain heat and could potentially cause a fire if they fell over.
