To put it simply, and without sharing too many family details, I am helping my aunt, who is a victim of senior abuse by her kids, fix and flip her home after it was cosmetically destroyed and left vacant for many months.

Has a taker, rakes in the option fee, the extra rent, and IF the house sells, the difference is sales price.

On the other hand you're right about this stuff being viewed mostly on phones rather than 27" monitors.One of the main benefits I see from a DSLR besides extra wide angle would be using flash bounce off the ceiling, perhaps multiple flash using slaves.

I realize there are a lot of details that go into the mortgage decision process for the lender that I couldn't include in here, but just looking for some general/creative ideas of ways that things  could be structured with a lender to make something like this work.tia,-Rob

How much extra have you been paying on your mortgage each month?

Let me know if you need more details.

Renting the other units helps to bring in extra income, and gives you experience with managing a property and tenants.  

If the heat is radiators from a boiler, you have to separate the supply piping and return piping for each unit, then you need the extra boilers as well; you might be able to re-gun the oil boiler with something like a Midco Economite to save some money on a boiler, assuming existing boiler is in good condition and not too oversized for the biggest rental unit.One thing to point out is that you will now have multiple burners.

Happy to chat in more detail anytime!

Plus people will pay extra for quirky, older homes in that area.
