3rd unit being rented in a duplex uninsurable?
I am looking at acquiring a duplex in Milwaukee. However, there is a 3rd unit (finished attic) being rented to another party. There is only 1 exit from this unit. Is this illegal? Will I be able to get property insurance with this tenant in place? If I am able, will the insurance be void if I ever have a claim on the insurance? (fire etc) Lastly, can I be personally liable if there is a fire etc in the unit? (I assume yes).
Good purchase price, lots of potential issues.
Thanks in advance everyone, so much more to learn here at BP.
