Hiring family or friends, when embarking on a Real Estate transaction is a double edged sword. You want to help your person out, give them the business, but is it always the right thing to do for you?

You may think, great more value to my home. However, while the prices of homes, will go up with lack of inventory, what also goes up is the amount of down payment a buyer will have to come up with.
