I'm moving there to be close to my son and daughter and grandchild.

Ultimately I know the decision is mine, and there is risk whenever placing a tenant but let me know what you think.Application 1: Family (Husband, Wife, young son, elderly mother) - Wife credit score 640ish, husband is 585.

Rates aren't kind to max ltv though, putting you in the 8's on a 30 year fixed although a 40 year fixed is available. 

At that time I may consider utilizing an IRS 1031 exchange to purchase another property, repeating the process to help my son.  

two of my sons were working together on a purchase of the primary for one of them. 

I am currently in the process of trying to convince my significant other to commit to one more house hack before moving into a nicer/bigger SFH home to raise our 5-month-old son in.

in reality it never work like this.Told to be truth after learning so many track record of any direct investment and syndication, most of the return is coming from appreciation.just buy one house in east palo alto for 25k in 1982 and sell it 30 years later for one million buck LOL.

While we know it won’t be the greatest investment strategy, we have decided to combine our investment goals with giving our oldest sons a leg up.
