House Hacking and The Coronavius

[Edwin Byler]

I am a newbie real estate investor from the Charlotte NC and I am about to purchase my first duplex and live in one side. My first question is, how do I split utilities with my tenant. Second question, would you guys hold off on purchasing at all right now in hopes that the market will drop due to coronavirus. I tend to think I should go ahead and purchase the property but almost everyone I talk to (Mostly Not Investors) say that they would wait to purchase because prices will drop. Once again, I'm a newbie and any feedback is welcomed. Thank you all
