I have learned 1 con after I purchased a shared duplex...dealing with the other owner!  BTW, my unit is still doing well for me, so not a deal-killer.

Is your deal a side/side or an up/down? 

You can use Rentometer to get a decent idea. You just have to be sure that the comparison units that it displays are similar to yours.

Also, look on Zillow and Realtor.com for local units that are available for rent.

I assume that you are trying to purchase long-distance.

I recently needed to replace a leaking washer. I usually by used, but am finding them unreliable. For this unit, I purchased from Lowes online, used my military discount, and set up the delivery right to the property. It worked out well, but you will need someone there to accept delivery.

HELOC. I have used one to fund down payments.

I hate these stories...scary and unfair to you.

How about an "out of the box" solution? Have a friend of yours "break in" to the house now and become the new squatter. Take over the place.

Can you have the car traced by the plates?

I think that combining the office and the adjacent bedroom into a master would make the most sense...maybe?

@Nancy Zhao 

Can you post a floorplan?

If the carpet is clean, then it doesn't need cleaning!

Not until the current lease expires. Someone needs to beat the crap out of the prior owner! Was the prior owner angry about something?
