I know you can get his material from these other sites now but I'd like to know if he is ok.

If my strategy is to have their rent pay part of the mortgage and invest in renovation in the unit i'd occupy, does this sound like a good strategy to raising the value?

Yes I'd like the contacts you have, that would be very helpful. 

I've also considered letting them directly deposit into my business account which you mentioned, but have been very wary of doing so since I'd have to divulge the account number and such.

If you know or have been here before I'd love to hear your thoughts.Cheers,Nate

If you could pass along those contacts I'd greatly appreciate it.  

I can't imagine the weight you feel with both parents passed away and now you are left with things that constantly remind you of them. 

I'd rather have a fixed rate on my investment properties vs a variable rate.  

I'd start with a conversation with your PM.

I've identified a small mixed use building I'd like to purchase.
