It sounds like a single family house where you will be living in the house(personal use).Therefore, you may not be getting the tax benefits you think you are.Consult an accountant.I am not sure why your sister would agree to this as well, she is losing $170,000 in this transaction and she faces the possibility of you increasing her rent.You also have to charge market rent or close to market rent or it is all deemed personal use.

And if houses are showing an owner having been there for 10+ years when that owner actually sold 8 months ago, then I might market to a completely unqualified lead. 

I am considering a 12 unit multifamily property in my home market of Harrisburg, PA. 

Analyze Rental Comps & Market Trends•Look at recent rental comps in the community—not just those from a year ago, but the most recent listings with similar size, layout, and features.

At that point in time the market was still hot for properties at my price point in my buy box.

We’d love to collaborate further and share more ideas as you develop your vision.
