Hi @Harry Williams, welcome!  

I ran through the house with an inspector and a contractor to get an idea what we were in for and figured overall we needed to put about $50k into a rehab (this includes contingency $ just in case).

@William Leahy - VRBO started in mid 90s, more than a decade before airbnb.

We've found a home here in Oregon (Clackamas County) that we're interested in purchasing as our new primary residence, and it includes a rental SFH on the same property.

I realize there are a lot of details that go into the mortgage decision process for the lender that I couldn't include in here, but just looking for some general/creative ideas of ways that things  could be structured with a lender to make something like this work.tia,-Rob

All utilities included in HOA fee.

What are you TOTAL monthly expenses including gas, food, gifts, movies, mortgage, dinners out etc?

@John Knisely  Electric baseboard heating can be expensive when you look at life cycle cost, this includes utility cost. 

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if anyone can give me a rough estimate on how much it would cost per square foot to build a new house (land not included) in Durham North Carolina?

Thanks guys@William Allen and @Jay Helms you guys look familiar.
