Owner-occupied Duplex Landlord
Hi all,
I'm about to close on my first ever property which is a duplex unit that I intend to live in half of and rent the other half of.
What are some best practices/tips for landlords living in the same building as their tenants?
- Do I let them know I am the landlord? If not, how do I collect rent from them without using a property management company?
- Who do I get them to call when something goes wrong? I'll setup a google voice number, but then they will obviously know I am the landlord.
- Any tips for dealing with them on the day to day basis?
- Can I impose quiet hours?
These are just some questions. Any other advice you have would be great either for finding tenants, or once I have tenants. Thanks!
