Loan options were much more favorable for an owner occupied refinance, when compared to an investment property refinance.

I favor the month to month lease because in NY it is easier to evict someone if you need too.

Your personal living expenses are part of the equation, you get to experience being a landlord, and there are some very favorable lending options as well.

Or you may already have it through favorable current zoning or a future zoning proposed by CodeNext.For example, current zoning of this 0.40ac lot allows only one dwelling per lot, that of course already sits there.

To keep it short, I'll just say it is more favorable to live in your home first then rent it (as long as you owned/ lived in the home 2 out of past five years and meet the other requirements) before you ultimately sell it. 

There will still be lenders that will underwrite favorable loans in certain non-warrantable condos, just as there are now. 

Anyone having luck finding favorable rate/terms for commercial cash out/refi lately? 

The market seems to be in favor of sellers right now with investors having to bend, but it seems as if old ways, outdated info, and old thinking habits from investors are making deals difficult for wholesalers.

Are you prepared to give him the job as a contractor and not as a tenant doing you a favor - proper quote, expectations, etc?

(I'm philosophically in favor of taking it away, but I think the powers that be like it too much and there will be heavy lobbying.)To sell or not?
