hi everyone. i've been thinking about using my mom and dad's house as a rental property and would like some input. i'll try to provide a lot of information while keeping my post short.regarding my family dynamic: my dad passed away and my mom is living by herself in the house. they want to leave the house to my siblings and i. there are 4 of us (2 sisters, 1 brother, me). my 2 sisters live out of state each in a different state and don't plan on moving back here. my brother and i live in state but we both have our own things going on and don't plan on moving back into the house. ive only spoken to one of my sisters about this.regarding the house: IIRC my mom did a refinance, i THINK because her name wasn't on the loan. for some reason only my dad's name was on the original loan. i'm not sure what the terms are of the loan but i think monthly payments are in the mid-$1000 per month. it's a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bathroom house. comparable rents in the same city are (according to zillow) listed at over $3000 per month currently. i haven't looked in to property management costs yet.can anyone who's ever split a rental property one or multiple ways with family think of anything that all of us have to consider?

A few years ago I could have bought a like new, 1/1 with carport for $25,000...they are a lot more expensive now, but, you can compare what they have on their site.  

That is a highly inflated number compared to new construction costs.A $450k duplex with 5 beds/4 baths on each side can gross $74k per side x 2= $148k in revenues.

I think the NW corridor of Leander/Georgetown is developing beautifully but the rent to purchase price ratio tends to lag slightly when compared to its neighboring suburb of Cedar Park.  

I personally don't have much experience with rocket or guaranteed rate but it doesn't hurt to check out what they are offering and compare with some of your local lenders.

Sidenote- crazy how one roomate makes a huge difference, this is literally 3x the cost compared to if I just rent out the room and find parking on the street or around the neighborhood- they have a few spaces throughout the development).
