This is to ensure I’m buying a property in a good neighborhood and that it will be easier to rent out the rooms, reducing the risk as much as possible.

Hi,  Does anyone have experience either using Bilt Credit card to pay rent or collect rent?

My rent is $2,350/mo (I could probably get more but I want it to move quickly) and it is in a gated community - just to give you a sense of they type of property it is and maybe what type of expectations a renter may have for what they are paying for that rent.

rent will be about 1500- 1700 , so do the math, 

I am looking for a house that I can convert into duplex so that there can be two living spaces, live in one and rent out the other.

I have seen this a good bit, what they really do is just increase the fees by the equivalent of 1.5-2 points even though the points box show 0 points.

The marginal increase in revenue going from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 is, well, marginal. 

This is because your rental income is NOT calculated as simply as taking the rent minus the payment OR by simply taking the negative number on your tax returns. 

Make sure the policy covers business pursuits and understand that it doesn’t increase your loss protection, only covered liability ( suits).

My brother and I want to get into real estate investing for passive income, and we’re thinking about starting off with a duplex in a year or two after saving some money, that we can live in and rent other unit(s).
