Re: has anyone bought a house with an apartment because you couldnt really swing the full mortgage without it?
A friend of the family did this and her tenant feel asleep smoking a cigarette and it didn't burn the house down but it burned up and damaged many things in her home such as important pictures of her children and wedding that couldn't be replaced.
She came home from work to find her house aflame. So just be careful and have good ground rules she had the same tenant for 5 years when this happened. Her apartment was legal also because she used to work for Gulotta and she made sure it was legal because she didn't want to loose her job.
I wouldn't do it unless I had a younger cousin or family that could move in.
I'm not big about having strangers in my home or having them know when I am home or not.
Just be careful!
