My long term goal is to hold but I also offered to sell them the house.Question is how do I have the difficult conversation about raising the rent on them if they don't want to buy? 

FHA Pros:-Friendly to lower credit scores (580-680)-Can buy multi-family with the same 3.5% down payment-DTI up to 55% (vs 45-50% for conventional) FHA Cons:-More difficult property/appraisal requirements-Frowned upon by agents, so the offer is weaker compared to conventional-LOTS of additional back-end stuff that makes a lenders job more difficult -If you're in a community property state, you have to include spousal debts even if they're not on the loan-Permanent mortgage insurance (but if you put 10% down, it'll go away after 11 years) -Fixed mortgage insurance (0.85%).

The financials might be more difficult to work out with your uncle, but maybe part of your 50% can be the property management of the asset.

Political discussion is prohibited in the forums and while I realize it is difficult to discuss policies that are enacted/enforced/overturned by politicians, you are limited to discussing the policies themselves and not the worth/worthlessness of those involved in crafting/overturning the policies.

There are some caveats to that which I wont dive into.Second, set you minimum stay on Airbnb to 30 days that way you can airbnb that other end of your duplex legally even if your city does not allow STR's as investment properties.Third, which is my favorite... throw the multiunit idea out the window since there is less inventory on the market and competition can be more difficult.

As @Jiri B.said, they're not too difficult for you to perform since when done well the client simply does what they always do normally - sell a piece of investment property and purchase new investment real estate.The devil is in the details in between. 

From a listing perspective, it may be difficult to immediately capture any value add you've done since it was recently purchased but if you want to switch directions fall/winter is a great time to look for multi-family properties.

@Gunnar ByrdWholesaling is more difficult than brokering as an agent.

That makes it difficult to set up and maintain a system.

Hi all, I live in Montreal area and the market is difficult right now.
