Hello! My name is Shawn. My wife and I are 41yrs. old and we are in the middle of purchasing our first home and it comes with a 2 unit apartment building. We sure could use some good tips and tricks of the trade since we never did anything like this before. The property is fully rented out and is in a great location. I believe if I follow some of the pro's, I can make this a part time business. Thanks you!
