The North end obviously has a great reputation, is Veterans Park similar? 

I am exploring the idea of carving out a mother in-law suite from an existing SFR.

I want a good reputation in my area, but I also want to make sure my family is taken care of.

Good Evening, I am exploring multi-family 1-3 units.

There are some good lenders out there and I would highly recommend exploring some options. 

-They are hard to finance-They are prohibitively expensive-It can be tricky to find an appropriate lotI even explored using modular and prefabricated options but the 36' horizontal max makes it impossible as modular options are long and skinny so they can be transported.

It's in my daily planner everyday this week to navigate through the site to explore and learn more. 

If it's not a good investment property the numbers will tell you.Jaron,We brought the present home in 2012 as our first home.Its a new construction.I did run the numbers on the existing home.As I mentioned we paid 212k in 2012.Took an FHA and refinanced to conventional a few yrs later.(3.5% for 30 yrs Balance on mortgage 160k).Mortgage runs to 1200/month.Our property can be rented out as is for 2000/month.Its a 4 bed 3 bath and rents in our community start with 2000 range for our sq footage.I want to pay off this house asap in next 5-6 yrs and free up money to invest in another house.The houses in our community are in 450k+ range.Hubby is preapproved is not the reason for another house.The other house is right opposite to our community  and is a 5 min walk from our house.So its not a big move.Except that I want to move closer to our kids friends.Our lender metioned Heloc maybe a good choice for further investments.I want to explore Home Equity Loan route to be safer.I am still a layman in Heloc route and dont want to burn fingers.Any advice.P.S.What is COC? 

Does anyone have a reputable tax accountant who is particularly knowledgeable with real estate?
