Have you guys heard about Ben Leybovich coming out with a book about House Hacking?

If one person absolutely needs to sell and the others want to stay, can he sell his share?  

The goal is to apply for a mortgage at the same bank he applied for his mortgage and take over his mortgage.First, I don’t even know if that’s possible.Also if I purchase the duplex, how can he get his equity in the home if my down payment isn’t enough for his equity.My goal is to do this to save me some interest since I believe he’s paid off a good chunk of it.Is it a good idea to take over his mortgage or just start over.Are there any special fees I have to pay for this process?

(Then who would @Ben Leybovitch have to argue with?)

@Ben Leybovich Legal of course, lol!

This raises another question... if a person is really that nervous when meeting new folks, can he or she ever really invest in real estate successfully?

Thanks @Ben G.

If so, can he explain to you why specifically he believes this is the case?

Feel free to add me to your circle Ben.
