Just remember TALK is cheap, especially here.I just love advice that induces Y O U to take risk with assets while the advisors take no responsibility.(1) is totally irresponsible;  just remember terms like NEVER, ALWAYS, NO ONE are seldom true.(3) APPEARS to be true to me as I have yet to have a lawyer or escrow company that will consider it.(3) is dependent upon legal definitions. 

@Andrea Jones the awesome thing about a staffing company is you tell them when you want someone and don't, if just starting u can request people on and off, just don't expect the same person if not full time.

If the second unit is used a 2 bedroom u can use one of the rooms as a living room. and the attic as  a kids room. 

BLESS to all of u Thank U

The whole trip will run you flight/hotel/food/entertainment maybe $3k that you get to expense at the end of the year anyway.I wouldn't play in that zip-code, I would do anything along Livernois North of U of D...Also don't be afraid to look in the North End(woodward between grand blvd and Chicago).
