Are you wondering more about the financials of it or operations? 

Purchase Terms: Clearly outline the terms for your brother to purchase the property from you, including the timeline and price.To minimize the financial burden on your HELOC, refinance the property into a traditional mortgage as soon as possible.                                                                                           

Prioritize your financial stability.

The number of DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans a lender will offer can vary depending on the lender, your financial situation, and the property cash flow.

Certainty in this industry is merely an illusory facade - costs and timelines often exceed expectations by double.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

A financial advisor or real estate pro could help you map it all out more concretely.If I were in your shoes, I'd probably lean towards selling and reinvesting into some more diverse assets, or just more properties, but that's just me. 

im in Orange County CA and there is a huge market here for room by room rentals here. i've been doing this for quite some time (over a decade now), and it certainly has its pro's and cons. my advice if you go about this is make sure you do proper vetting before moving someone in... not only for financials/ credit-worthiness, but also for temperament and expectations in a co-living space. we ask a lot of questions like "how do you handle conflict?"

@Steve Englehart Cashing out an IRA or Roth IRA to buy rental properties has significant tax and financial implications.

Here's some basic copy & paste info that may help you make better investing decisions:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
