So that brings me to....Making My Family InvestorsMy Grandma and parents have expressed interest in investing in real-estate with me and told me that if I ever needed an investor they would be interested.

Hi BPers,As we grow our portfolio, our friends and family have started to express interest.

I highly recommend Scott Posner at American Tax in South Burlington.

Too bad Americans only buy SUVs. 

In the event Tenant fails to occupy the home as agreed or otherwise defaults in the terms of this Agreement, the deposit and all associated fees shall be forfeited to American West Realty and Management.If they show up and don't like the rental, then I keep the deposit, terminate their lease, and find someone else.

I expressed to them that I wouldn't be able to do it right away and they said they'd offer me first right of refusal, but in a very casual (possibly non-committal) way. 

I think my biggest worry so far is how my family will take me expressing interest in this type of investment.

While the average American household spends around 33% of their annual income on a mortgage, it might be a great idea to house-hack to eliminate your housing costs.
