Do you know if there is public safety laws to require other owners to do something (besides the ccrs).

@Anthony Murphy PM's base their pricing on gross rent typically so they collect it, take their cut plus expenses and send you the rest.

Then the owner cuts them a break usually because is emotionally involved helping the students and see them as extended family.

1-4 unit residential lending is pretty cut and dry, and as long as your lender knows his/her stuff you should be fine.

Your house hacking idea is a great one, as is will help you to both cut expenses and add to your savings as well. 

I agree though that hiring your own handyman would cut that cost.

Hi Jonathan, Ive noticed a price cut trend in home prices over the last few weeks.

This would allow you to cut your living expenses and would give you the option of capturing the gains after two years.While the 1% rule gives you a guideline, it is really hard to achieve in HCOL areas with properties listed on the MLS.

You may need to pay over 9% or cut them in on the deal's profit. 

Is this a safety issue I can charge for?
