So from a qualifying point of view and income use you’ll only be able to count the units you’re not assumed to be living in however what you do post closing is your prerogative so long as you live there 51% or more per year as your primary residence and yes they never specifically in what manner you have to live in the property or how you have to live at the property. 

If you have a clear understanding of what your goals are and communicate these goals to them, now they have a destination in sight and will better utilize their strengths in a more tactical manner to get you to that goal.This week I have a meeting scheduled with an industrial manufacturing operator that has been successfully running their business for a over a decade.

Generally, if a company conducts business in a professional manner, i.e, has gone through the time, expense and effort to have proper licensing, insurance, etc and has a record of longevity, they will be reliable.  

While the demand is real I can't believe this rate can be sustained.

Not only would you be helping to sustain the market, but you would also be able to increase the value of properties in certain neighborhoods by buying an eye sore, rehabbing it, and returning it to the condition of the neighborhood standard.

They will appraise the property for you as well as get the balance sheet to make sure the home can sustain that debt. 

Yes investments have risk and fluctuate but if they give a range for returns they stick in that range, we there they themselves make money or not. 3) They can communicate in a timely manner, often times they can’t answer back right away and that is ok with me, but within the next few days. 4) Experience is important, and if they are new make sure they either have a co-sponsor or are somehow giving the investors way extra to compensate for the lack of experience.
