Seller financing has become considerably more complex since the emergence of the SAFE Act and later followed by the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Weigh that consideration against the cost of your coverage.

That's the million dollar question and depends on whether your activities rise to the level of a trade or business.

I am a week out from closing on my first duplex to House Hack and can confirm that lenders are willing to take the income from the property into consideration to raise pre-approval amounts and provide additional ammunition to go hunting. 

If they break up, they are both responsible until it is resolved with a new tenant I approve.Negotiators:  Applicants who immediately ask me to reduce rent, I drop them from consideration. 

As this crisis develops, be sure to support and be considerate for your tenants, not just the "landlord".

As for the deal, I would take into consideration the age of the property and what you think maintenance will be like over the next few years.

It wouldn't be for another 1-3 years but my concerns are this: Where I live is very expensive and not a landlord friendly state (NJ) so I want to invest out of state in a landlord friendly state with a rising market. 

There are financial considerations.

In this consideration, we would like an understanding of ''canned'' project costs for the typical, respective type of work while also allowing us to provide our contacts when costs are unreasonable from their providers.
