This is just a brief post to give some insight into the local maintenance costs in the Metro Detroit area. 

For example do you have a great w2 and can you afford to cover costs of a major repair or 3 months of vacancy?

FWIW, I'm going to base this off a 1,500 SF single family new build, but I'll predict the build cost will be a little over $200/SF.

A cash out refi should take 2-3 weeks with most lenders, and you should have only an appraisal a credit report fee as upfront costs. 

The question to ask is:  Is my housing cost better by househacking vs renting.  

You are not paying for their services and won't cost you anything extra anyways. 

Most won't insure pools with diving boards or ones without a VGBA drain.2) Include the cost of a pool company to manage the pool in the rent. 

Any lower than that and the costs of the mortgage are typically a very high percentage of the loan amount.  

The cost to do so was 50k to join.

Real numbers- purchase 907k,rehab , closing costs, soft costs, 840k, all in 1.747 mil, basis for each unit should be roughly 291kappraisal of each unit minimum 400k , so 2.4 mil if for all 6.I might refi only 4 out of 6, that will cover initial loan amount.
