But if I were you I would just deduct the actual home price from the sale and comp.Let say FMV is 800k, with this roof lien I would take 25k out so FMV is 775k.It's not a big deal really.Another important thing is to understand from disclosure if local gov. is involved or not ; sometimes they want stuff to be fixed within 2 months after closing.

Would a handyman be the right person to show the apt?

If you're looking for a long term business associate, in my personal opinion it is best to team up with someone that you want to make rich.

I just walked away because it’s better if I don’t get involved in something that may or may not even be legal.

Unless you can walk the real estate walk with these folks, hire a reputable person to represent you. 

I definitely would not touch the 3.75% personal mortgage and hold that forever. 

There are other funds etc. you can invest in that are also passive, that provide better returns than vanguard but again, they have risk involved and is a few hundred extra bucks a month worth the risk?

Its a personal decision for sure.

Hi Everyone, I'm looking to use my personal property to Airbib, 1 bd/ ba.

My personal preference is to talk with someone who is where you want to be.
