But I am open to it if I can use the security deposit to replace the carpet (not sure to what extent it is legal).I was thinking of getting landlord rental protection from Zillow to cover pet costs but my premium will probably shoot up since the place is carpeted.Would love your thoughts on this dilemma!

I was hoping that someone could help me with some legal advice on a property located in Crossett Arkansas.

This can help protect you legally and keep your process fair for everyone.

It was written legally that I am able to purchase the house from the trust for the original purchase price.

Financially, the numbers make sense, but I need to have a proper inspection since this is my first home (and I'm going unrepresented) and the house is built in 1915 with some renovations that were clearly done by the investor selling the property rather than a professional.Question: Although  previous owner has owned the property for 3 years and rented to tenants previously, should I be concerned that the legal zoning is only for SFH?

The best answer I found was looking at it from a tax and legal perspective.

I wonder if Realtor dot com is licensed then in all 50 states.. so they can legally take a slice of the commish ?

You need to consult your local laws to see what the legal amount of time is and decide for yourself if that's "reasonable."

Are you up to date on all of your licensing and permitting to legally rent this duplex?  

They can also handle all the paperwork and help with any legal stuff you might need to know.One thing that can help you and your tenants in the future is making sure your renters get renter’s insurance.
