I’ve been around real estate for decades, and I read in The Economist once that in lively markets like Charlotte, folks will pay a premium for a comfortable room if you’re near major employers.A friend of mine tried something similar out in Austin a while back.. he’d inherited a 4-bedroom property and split it into individual room rentals.

Where do you live?

Hi there,I'm trying to determine the best way to live in and eventually acquire a property as an inheritance while maximizing cost-effectiveness.

I'd start talking to her and looking for another place for her to live. 

Even if all the numbers pencil out, if no one wants to live there, I'm going to have a hard time making the numbers work, whether I'm selling a flip or renting out a property. 

Renovated it, lived in it for 2 years then moved on.

The 'investor' promises that the homeowner can continue to live in the home and repurchase it later or promises them new financing.

Run a credit check, which will include her address history and the dates she lived at each one. 

I am also available to talk live/text.

(I actually didn't get my laptop/phone hooked up to it, because I live here.
