Will you get more renting as a shared residence - 5 individual tenants vs. a Single Family, vs. a duplex?  

Not sure how they make money, but I don’t care - I will use them as long as possible!

Take care of it now.2) If you want him to stay, doing so for free only works if your mother has money set aside to pay for everything (like investments or a large bank account), otherwise it is out of your pocket.

(50% LTV low enough to where if it doesn't cash flow, who cares, lender can take a property at twice the value of the loan)..Theres other sub-1 DSCR situations that make sense at least in reality (vs. not in paper), but this is generally the way to make these deals make sense in this context (high value no cash flow markets like CA)

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

I have rented to non residents whose status was, well, probably not legal. 

My broker bought 2units 2 years ago and has $400k in equity already (approx. 300-400k per unit then)Hi @Thomas Tsitouridis I think you are referring to West 11th, e11even residences is sold out. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

There are expenses other than just the mortgage costs (like taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn care, maintenance, etc) that would have to be taken into account. 

I initially put down 20% on a primary residence loan.
