Risk of him having a life changing event, with the property still in his name is another consideration, as to how it would transfer at time of death. 

[The flip side of this is, of course, that you will also be *buying* your new homw at the height of the market.]2.

I have definitely taken that into consideration.

Most recent one I was looking at was in Cleveland Heights that was packaging 2 MF properties but the RE taxes in the combined proforma only had the RE taxes for 1 of them.

It took months to find a house that we liked with our criteria (and trust me we looked everywhere- Bernal Heights, Glen Park, Inner Richmond and Miraloma) and that worked for our budget, however we found this and I'm positive that we are not the only ones with this kind of story.Best of luck - Carolina. 

I plan to update both apartments for future rentals, no consideration as to selling the property when my family and I move out.  

I would also take into consideration your social media activity.

As for wire size you will need to run there are factors that need to be taken into consideration when sizing the wire.

The numbers look good from a traditional sense, but the height this market at makes me nervous.

Making a messed up sub floor level enough for tile can raise the cost considerably.
