DraconisV replied to the topic Units?? in the forum Help Needed! 15 years, 10 months ago
Thanks Elka,
I was initially thinking live then rent, but it made more sense, as i would be able to increase my income a bit over the 6 months of it being rented out before living in it. I’ll have to check it out.
