Buying my first home and rental property

[David Jesse]

My agent told me about a duplex which is not on sale publicly, but she is selling it by telling potential buyers.

The duplex will have tenets in it till Dec of 2019, my goal is to move into one of the units after the lease ends. 

This would be my first purchase. What are the things I should check and watch for? 

I want to make sure the tenets will pay on time, so I thought I would check the bank statements to see the history of the tenets.
