Find a contractor and go from there, I'll keep you posted on this situation.

Actually, I already moved and need to sell my previous residence and that's what brings me to the forums to ask for some guidance.My situation is that i'm trying to sell my house, which has been on the Market for a month.  

Current situation Currently have 2 private loans that I am paying back original home owners.1st loan $15,000 left for House 2nd loan $18,000 left for Condo Then have one conventional loan that I owe $10,500 left on it.

Olusola Abitogun I’ve had this idea and discussed with lenders and I believe it may work in your situation.

@Tom Smith If I were in your shoes, I might rent for 6 months and figure out what I wanted out of my living situation as well as where I'm likely to get the best value.

For those who carry debt on your properties: What are some suggestions for stress tests you put on your portfolio?

I would just tell them at the end of the year lease we can re sign if the living situation is working out for everyone.

I am literally in the same exact situation as you have previously described (Gf's a nurse, interested in the concept, doesn't deal well with information overload or advanced math/numbers, but truly is starting to understand the benefits of passive income, etc)If you wouldn't mind keeping me in the loop and letting me know what you decide to do it would be much appreciated upon my behalf.

They will explain your different options considering your exact situation and then tell you the best rates with different banks.

MUCH different than an upfront purchase. all situations are different.
