My wife drives across town to get her hair done. 

i understand a true duplex might be a lot more expensive, but i think it's at least worth continuing to research and keeping an eye on.and sticking to my original point, OOS can be tough. 

When renting out furnished rooms, am I obligated to provide the exact furnishings and decor shown in the original listing photos?

Should I charge her a prorated amount of the original rent or the increased month-to-month rent for January?

All original tenants were long term low rent tenants.

Can I leave them off of the original purchase since they are gifting me the money (6 figures) or do they need to be on the original deed and then when I get the mortgage remove them?

Purchase price: $105,000 Cash invested: $23,000 Sale price: $180,000 Originally BRRRR’d, not great roi so sold.

Correspondent lending typically takes one of two forms: delegated or non-delegated.One approach is to obtain your loan purchaser’s criteria and documentation, (hopefully) adhere to them scrupulously, and originate the loans yourself.
