The longer a guest stays positively impacts the amount of time it takes to clean.

I am just trying to see what my options are when it comes to purchasing the house and turning it into an investment down the road.

I have always had the option of getting a graduate degree but never felt the expense would justify what little benefit I would receive.

Hi Brian, It's great to hear that you're exploring your options for purchasing another owner-occupied property in the East Boston/Chelsea area!

10% down, 30 year amortization, 6.2% rate, 3 year note, with an option for an additional 3 years.

If you have an issue with the way the landlord (you) has handled things your options are therapy or GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES and pray.Your recitation of events reflect the owner acted in a timely manner and you failed to report the leak.

Thanks,Chris @Chris Heinmiller We've been working with our local Habitat to create a program where we could partner to help them expand beyond SFH into multi-family and townhome options.

Which option is better to build a new one or buy an existing one?

I still think looking for a TLC 2-4 unit can be a good idea to open up the ability to upgrade/renovate to speed up the equity position and tap into the ARV to pull your initial capital back out plus in most cases enough for the next down payment. 

It's critical to be informed about these options and to have a strategy in place for requesting injunctive relief if required.When engaging in any business transaction, it is essential to conduct thorough due diligence and be aware of any unique legal considerations that may apply.
