I am close to advertising my rental unit through Zillow. I plan to have tenants pay for the app fee and screen through Zillow as well. 

Should I note that the owners will be living next door? I’m trying to think if I were in the tenant’s shoes and would not want them to waste their app fee if they are interested in living next door to their landlord? 

I was originally going to inform the most qualified candidate after the fact, but I’m trying to be considerate of potential applicants. Any thoughts?

I'm currently under contract for a duplex on an FHA loan. Will be occupying one unit but current tenant will be served a 60-day no fault eviction notice in order for me to take over the unit. Will this extension impact the current seller's ability to evict? This is in Sacramento, CA.

Hello,

I've been looking at investing in a Duplex in the East Sacramento-Rancho Cordova area. Will be an owner-occupant. Currently only have 40K available towards a down and closing. Max budget is possibly 500K. Any tips as far as financing and any additional costs. Looks like I'll need to go for an FHA loan but are there any other programs that can assist with down payment or closing costs. Also, if there are any other things I need to keep in mind, please share as well. I've looked up costs for water, sewage, and garbage, but is this a cost per unit or do they bill the entire duplex as whole?

Any information is greatly appreciated.
