I just found out the cause of my $700 bill (it's normally $300, and I split it with my tenant next door).

Also, I would consider splitting the home into apartments but would prefer not to alter the exterior of the home, which may make it difficult to split up.Are there any positives to go through a bank opposed to just paying my m-i-l directly?  

It is framed and sheet-rocked and has heat/air.

Specifically the Slippery Rock University area.

I'm looking at a few in the central Arkansas area, North Little Rock particularly, and can't decide if I want to pull the trigger.

Many new agents are drawn to these small no name brokerages that have a flat fee and high commission split.  

In doing this, I want to split the out-of-pocket expenses with him (down payment + rehab) and obviously have the title under both our names.

When I hear police officers/nurses/etc being approved for and buying $500-600k properties it won't take much for the boat to be rocked and defaults to start again.

Around here 200k a year is a low income renter, might even be able to get Section 8 ;) I think all your units should have nice stainless steal appliances, rock countertops, real hardwood floors, and a pride in ownership with nice crisp painting.

It's equidistant from Eureka and Redding, for those North Staters on BP.Right now the land is split between my aunts and Mom.
