A multi family home would be more ROI. Rent one unit to help cover mortgage expenses

Can you tell me a little bit about what the board interview was like and what kind of questions they asked? I am very nervous

They just want to know you’ll be a good addition to the co-op! They want to know if your job is stable and if there’s room for progression (because this makes them feel as if you’ll pay your maintenance fees on time). Tell them about your hobbies and lifestyle so they’d feel like you’d be a quiet and polite neighbor. That kind of stuff
