This is a duplex and I live in the upstairs unit so I got to hear all of it and I had to be the one to call the police.

Even city of Poughkeepsie isn't bad as an investment but I wouldn't want to live there.

I live in San Francisco and would prefer to manage it myself. 

I don't see the average Jane being able to afford to live in a furnished rental as a traditional tenant.

We are planning on renting out the MIL suite to a travel nurse or possibly putting it on AIRBnB (we live close to the beach).

You have owed utilities over $8000 to an utility company, so we had to live without water for 2 weeks.

In the area of town I live and invest, there are already a lot of singles next to true duplex next to quads, so there is less scrutiny in general around it anyways.The things that I would primarily check is was the work permitted and approved as a separate dwelling unit.  

I live, work, and invest in Kitsap County, WA - 12 miles due west of Seattle.

Hello,We are currently living overseas and want to buy a home for our return to the states. 

Guarenteed payments on the 1st, keeping up with market rates and mutual interest between the tenant and landlord to keep the property in good condition and to keep the tenant living there.
