I was thinking about getting a Equity Partner for this deal.

As soon as I heard about this program I knew I had to post about it because I think it might be helpful to many.

My question is, do you think it is still worth the effort to try and rent this out as a MTR?

Hi Ben, what is the reason you are not wanting your rentals to affect your DTI and why are you thinking they are affecting you? 

Therefore, the walls supporting the floor/ceiling also need to be protected. 1 hr. walls, so 45 minute doors and windows, I think.

But the situation did get me to start thinking on how to properly analyze a small multifamily house.I've only invested in SFRs so I'm a little green when it comes to properly analyzing a duplex.

We are thinking of buying an investment property in Puerto Rico and I would like to try to get a pre-approval before my trip there in October.

I think I am leaning towards QBO.

We are thinking about house hacking, but we've never lived in a multiplex type of neighborhood, so this is going to be really new for us, and cannot say that we are fully comfortable with it.

I also think that partnerships are very dangerous.
