The timing of my business plan will be tied to her success as she starts her new venture (i.e. we can't both jump into new S/E careers at the same time).PSS - sorry for the previous post violating the rules; hopefully, this one is better!

@Rai UdHouse hacking has served me and my family well, we have a 2750 sqft house. 4/3 We temporarily turned the office into a bedroom and was curious how the home would perform if we put it on full blast per se.

The work doesn't have to be "performed" per se....but it has to be an expense that you paid for reflected on your HUD.  

Where we manage properties in SE MI there are places that it is expected landlords will supply appliances (hot water tank is not an appliance in this case and actually required by law) but also a lot of places where it is the exact opposite. 

@Kate Lee - I'm also an investor friendly agent for many out of state investors, although in SE Michigan.

Love threads like these - Jumping in here as someone in SE Michigan.

@Jordan Moorhead I haven’t used VAs per se.

I need help determining whether it is a good or bad idea to bring in an investor.Note: current rental cash flows 200 dollars per month after accounting for expenses and our houses projected cash flow is 200 per month if se don’t refinance.

Good afternoon BP,I am PCSing to Idaho soon and in my search for a Duplex in SE Boise or Mountain Home, I'm concerned that most properties seem to have tenants in place on leases that would continue past the 60 days within loan closing, 60 days being a reasonable time to occupy according to the VA.

Im not really looking for cash flow per se but long term capital appreciation.If I should be looking at other kind of housing (condos, multi family etc) I’d appreciate any tips as well.
