living next to your tenents. Good or bad?
i have been looking at some options for moving out of my parents but still being able to make income with real estate. Im thinking of buying a duplex or something since I'm about to be done with my first house flip and will have a good chunk of change to play with. I would like to buy a single family house for myself and still be able to buy another one to rent but I'm not sure if its possible or how it would work but what do you guys think of having a duplex and living in one unit and renting the other one out? is there more issues since the tenant is so close or are there benefits to living next to the tenant
