 YUP no agent is going to spend there time when U cannot transact and I am sure if the shoe was on the other foot you would not want anyone just playing you.

what you can and should do though is go to open houses.. this is free to all.  and also go to new home developments that have show homes.

this is what my wife and I do when we travel.. or even in town.. to keep up on trends etc. of course being agents we can get into any listed property ( as long as we follow showing instructions).. 

In addition if you have home improvement shows and the like go to those.  

For serenity, peace and harmony, nobody knows I own nuthin.

I would be the 'manager' of this duplex. I'd be paying 'rent' to my mgt corp. She would pay her share with no resentments or sense of entitlement.  

Problem is, most like to run their mouth about what they're buying and the great deal they got, etc. Anonymity is where it's at if you like freedom and serenity.

@Daniel Lynch,

I'm guessing the other side tenant completely pays for your bills, so your ethics come from the idea of charging her when you don't have any expenses.    So first, you're making a phenomenal investment, so congrats on the duplex!      I would say have her pay the cable bill and the electric/gas bill (don't do food, IMO it always gets messy b/c it ends up costing a lot more), no reason she gets  to live completely free... remember, you're still on the hook for maintenance for both homes, and stuff will come up!
