I came across Ascension recently as well but have not found any good reviews to go off of. 

Although in the next few years I'll be starting a family and will want a single family home, if I put in the work of finding off market / on market multifamily deal the medium term rents could be insane. 

Q3) If it's a loan from our parents that we are paying off, who holds the title to the home?

However, he wants to be off the loan within two years of purchase.

It's also proof positive that you do not need to start off wealthy to do it.

And what is the trade off bypassing? 

ADUs in SRH areas typically get valuations far below the hands off ADU addition cost.  

So I'm off on another intellectual trek to figure out if and how I should do that.

Call a septic company and they will come with their truck, dig down so they can pop the top off, pump it out, and inspect it for you.If you've had contractors in the house, I wouldn't be surprised that things that shouldn't have been flushed were flushed.

He's tired of keeping up with his rentals and selling them off to his kids.
