If it weren't for that floor height difference between there and the kitchen, I would suggest moving the patio doors to the adjacent wall in place of the window, and extending the kitchen into that space, adding more cabinets along the back wall and a nice big island.

I just signed a contract to purchase a house in a nice community in Baltimore ( Edmondson Heights for those that are familiar). 

I am not sure how your business is set up, but one consideration is that with QB online, you can only have one file, but with the desktop version you could set up multiple files for different LLC's or individual properties.I use the online version at my day job and will probably continue to use the desktop version for my personal/investing activities.Good Luck on your journey and let me know if I can answer any other questions.Ed

Your choice of which is best will take into consideration exactly what and how you invest as well as the needs of the partners.

For any other other Raleigh locals you can take the Greenway survey here: https://raleighnc.gov/greenways2020Multifamily housing opportunities have mostly passed in Raleigh, there are many well designed units in established neighborhoods such as Historic Oakwood, Boylan Heights, and other pocket neighborhoods.

One lender told me that the 75% would be based off of all three unit rents and another lender told me these rules don't apply if I don't need to include the rent into my income considerations.  

The main consideration is they pay year-round, don't give them an out to take your best months, and stiff you in the Summer.  

The "Goo" then hardens and keeps the slab at height (for a while), because it's tree roots and soil conditions that make the cement move.Sometimes they drill hole to inject it, sometimes they come at it from the side.It's FAST..you can look it up on the web (see YouTube).For the Mockups I use GIMP....it's like Photoshop with less features, but enough to get the job done.There is a learning curve to it.
