The neighborhood specialist sounds to be the better fit.

This is one of the things that sound a lot easier than they are actually done.The crazy thing I learned about these CA fires is that the heat radiation is hot enough (1500-2000F) that it will ignite your furniture through the windows.

It sounds like you / your parents should just hire a professional property manager for the inherited properties.  

I really like that Stessa and Baselane offer high earning interest accounts and physical debit cards and sounds like Stessa offers checks.

Staying local and house hacking—especially now, before kids—gives you so much flexibility to set yourselves up for long-term success.Your financial foundation is super strong, and house hacking a quad sounds like an amazing first step for you two.

If that sounds like you, let me know if you'd be open to having a conversation!

Hey @Kirk Roberts that sounds like a great long term goal!

Also, if you consider the fact that his 30 year mortgage is $100-$200 less per month than what local folks pay for rent, then it's not as predatory as it may sound at first.

Your issue more so is the seasoning period for the refinance is what it sounds like.
