Tenants can be frustrating (to say the least)... and the situations that come along with them - from stopped up toilets to evictions, among many others, present challenges.I wouldn't recommend a Heloc for a long term hold as the rate is variable... and over 4 units you will require a commercial loan if going the traditional route of financing.

Firstly, they are significantly more affordable than traditional houses, often reducing the financial burden of homeownership.

My reports don’t always ‘kill the deal,’ but they do shine a light on critical information investors may not be getting from their team.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—it’s clear that I need to clarify the distinction between my approach and the traditional perception of “cheap rent.”

While the traditional approach involves buying a multi family property, living in one unit and renting out the other - with rising prices and interest rates; others have considered renting out bedrooms as unit spaces. 

I don't even think its worth a sub-to We had a similar deal last summer that looked like it was on a glide path to closing and then the REAL numbers came to light and the wheels fell off the bus.
