If we buy and rehab or build new that's what will make us stand out from the rest. 

I don't know the rest of your numbers, but if they are that good then it should be worth it to refi and pay for the aditional loans. 

The rest of them are spot on - modern homes bring higher values, 2 car garages, views, amenities, and the age old - location, location, location.

HELOC for the DP and Conventional for the rest.

We put 20% down and financed the rest through a lender.

If the unit was rented to a group, it is up to them to sort it out between them when only one is moving and the rest are staying. 

Once you define your goals, the rest should follow.

Would be a crash course that you can apply for the rest of your life. 

My basement will have a private entrance and will be completely separate from the rest of my home, with a few locked doors in between me and my guests.I've been informed that I might not be able to use my current homeowners insurance policy. 

I am giving you official notice to vacate the home no later than February 29th and returning possession to me.I would send this certified so you can verify receipt and have proof for court.
