If things go well, could be harmless, but if things go poorly one of you will get the short end of the deal (hint, it'll be you).Are you willing to sacrifice profit and ROI for family?

That's why I want to consider staying here For the start of my investing.I just didn't know if renting or selling was my best bet.

The best bet is to go and see a loan officer.  

When you start doing that on a regular basis (recommended every 30 days), your scores will start rising.Then, you can truly make good real estate deals--from a position of credit strength--and save yourself a lot of money you would have paid out because of your poor credit rating.

I'm betting there are zoning requirements for renting the storage unit out to another party besides the home tenant.  

I would like to borrow money from his equity(and he would be ok with this too) but he could not get approved for a cash out refi or line of credit due to his now very poor credit.

I bet the coaching is just a long confined opportunity for them to upsell you to the $40k package.  

I am thinking the city council is the best bet.

I apologize if any of my irritation over the opaqueness of that detail was poorly received.

The best bet is a broker that is an investor or was.
