And yes I'm currently living at home, and just trying to make the best decision I can before locking into a path.

Think my 4 plex has tenants that lived there 10 years :) from prior owner . let me know if further questions be glad help anyone from my 3 year experience down there so that maybe you don't make my mistakes.

I can promise you that my first deal was TERRIBLE, but I lived at a reduced monthly cost to living than renting/buying a single family and that is what mattered. 

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Padsplit househack - live for free plus cashflow What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Chiefly among them they have a housing a development arm to provide truly affordable housing for rent while helping a lot of folks get back on their feet and provide a clean, safe place to live. 

Keep in mind once you retire you may stilll live another 30 years.

Since you lived in it for the last 2 years, you would qualify for the 121 Primary residence exclusion.

The bank will likely not let you assume the note, especially if your parents are the one living there - not you. 

There are also operators who are leasing their properties to  sober Living organizations.  

Lived there for about five years and I miss it everyday.
