Here is a website with additional information: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/consolidationDepending on your source and level of income, there are different repayment plans the previously mentioned website discusses.I can only speak from experience with Great Lakes, but you can google student loan consolidation to find others.Hope this helps.

There are some differences there in terms of neighborhood but a lot of the same stuff applies.In addition to crime and location close to main roads, I also would look at jobs growth vs cost of living in the area.

Hi Bea,HomeAway has stated that the average management fee is 24%, but that isn't necessarily the average effective rate after additional fees.

To fast forward, essentially the husband had work across many different states/projects and their circumstances changed causing them to move back to their hometown within 3.5 months of starting their 1 year lease.The signed lease was very tight (no PM, just realtor, great neighborhood/friends and us) and covered us for many situations but I do want to get some clarification or advice on best course of action for the following:(please note this info is just from my googling/common sense and again I have no claims to be right in any situation here)1.

When they renew, I do not charge anything additional.

Keep the insurance in the homeowners name (you become an additional insured), get a durable power of attorney from the homeowner, and make the payments on time!  

Crash in the future, I don't think so, but there may be small bubbles in some local markets that might pop, or as commonly referred to as market adjustments.

If you do sell within the next three years, you'll probably come out even, as you added the additional loan costs to the principal you need to pay down and your house will may be underwater (assuming you bought at market and there isn't crazy appreciation where you bought your house). 

Then when you go to resell and pay additional costs you are taking a loss.

My question is should I have payed the $72,000 and but additional $15,000 in to the duplex and see if it cf at $87,000.
