HOME WARRANTY for rental properties???

[Steve Holly]

We're in escrow on our first duplex.  Wondering if its "normal" to keep home warranty polices in place?  Whats your experience?  Do you keep home warranties on your properties, or just deal with the issues as they arise?  The subject property we are buying is a 1922 construction with an upstairs unit, a main level unit, and a full, unfinished basement that will eventually be converted into a 3rd unit.  Thanks in advance!
