I rent out the other side and half of the side I am living in.

And I'm assuming there will be some tax benefits by only receiving half of the equity up front.

One year ago I purchased a duplex, my wife and I live in one half and we rent out the other.

Hi,  I hired a contractor for my basement remodeling.he worked 2 and half days, after that he didn't appear for the last two week.whenever I call him, he says he will come tomorrow, and tomorrow I don't see him.My concern is , so far we had verbal agreement, I gave him a list of work printed on paper, he looked into that, he has a copy, I have a copy.but we didn't sign , we agreed on total amount I need to pay.

Life’s gotten very busy, and I might just cut ties with a half renovated property as I now live three hours away in Portland Maine and would like an extra 30k or more to put towards a upcoming house hack.

If one of you alone qualifies for the mortgage, then that one individual can certainly do the refinance in just their name.What sometimes comes up with scenarios like this is each of you is individually fully liable for the mortgage, but each of you only reports half of the rental income.

I think the other half will have a lot to do on that decision lol..

I typically ask for half the rent price as a security .

That can be half the battle sometimes.

She gave me half month's rent as security deposit.
