It has been quite a ride. 

Assuming I had the experience, I would only buy a place with structural issues if I had 1) an experienced and trusted structural engineer telling me a clear, and verifiable explanation of the cause(s) of the problem and a viable and affordable solution, 2) trusted and experienced tradespeople who would be implementing the solution (carpenter, mason, etc.) confirming with me that they could fix the issue (with 90% or higher confidence that the issue could be resolved within budget), and 3) confirmation from city inspectors that the issue (and an inability to fix the issue) would not result in condemnation/revocation of occupancy permits. ...and even then, I'd only proceed if I had the cash reserves to ride out a major series of unexpected problems (e.g.; time overruns, budget overruns, unexpected revocation of occupancy permits from the city, etc.) 

Ride it out your listing is great, your in the top 10%, they will come.

You can read all the books you want about how to ride a bike but you really don't know how to ride a bike until you get on and start pedaling.

Summers are great and spring/fall are awesome for hiking and especially bike riding seeing as we are right on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes which is a 72 mile paved bike path that winds it's way along the lake, through woods and chain lakes.

The only options that seem available to us are add the parents to our application, remove either parents or wife from the duplex, or in the future put the rents all in my wife's name which might negatively affect my in-laws.You guys are my Hail Mary, hoping you can spot a solution I'm missing!

While the ride might be bumpy at first, there is no better way to understand the nuances of investing than just jumping in. 

Whether it’s driving for a ride-sharing service, freelancing online, or even renting out a room on Airbnb, these extra earnings can add up.

Tell them you are calling the office, and they just may lose their free ride.

I also have no debt and I am on a full ride for school.
