Keep in mind that personal-use portions, like the half you live in, won't be deductible for rental purposes.

I am in the process of settlement on my 1st property in 1 week. i have a 5% down conv loan thru a credit union bank. this a duplex and is a row house. i plan to live in one unit and rent out the other. the seller is also selling the duplex property next to it.

Does anyone know if we give a Housing Authority Tenant notice that we do not intend continue renting (and provide a 90 day minimum notice).

In my (one time) experience with section 8 I put my emphasis on my perception of the applicant's personality, work ethic and credit score.

After operating 1 rental for 2 years and another for just a few months, I just got notification from the code enforcement at my municipality (whom I had visited in person) that I didn't file a paper correctly and fines are possible.

I don't know how difficult it is to simultaneously execute because I've not personally done so.

It might be too high depending on the house.

I have a personal HELOC on my primary home. 

Hi Deborah--Hands down understanding that EVERY house has a ceiling on value. 

There will be some personal use.
