Good afternoon BP,I have a triplex with three detached units that are all identical.

But, it doesn't sound too good to be true, as we have almost identical plans here in the US. 

Most probably want the appraisal but I have a property that is a condo and they were able to see what another identical unit sold for and used that.

The appraiser did the same thing, but went 2+ miles out (into 44109) to find identical properties for the comparable approach. 

I've had a couple of Section 8 applicants who are telling me that the amounts the housing authority is allowing are much lower (15 -20% lower) than what I am currently being paid by Sec 8 for other identical units. 

Assuming the identity of the person could be verified and the tenants signs an additional form accepting responsibility for anything the person might do, would this be advisable to allow?

It depends on property, in general, 5 unit is commercial and a different process than an individual investment in 1-4 unit. but if you're borrowing in an LLC, probably identical process.- would it make it any easier if either of us were a licensed real estate agent in the State the property is located?

It's identical to about 6 other homes next to it, all of which have 3 units rented out, and have up-to-date green cards.

So, in this case, assuming that both units are identical in size, 50% of the gain would be allocated to the primary residence portion of the property and 50% would be allocated to the rental property portion. 

And don't bother contacting "the real" Randall Holder who is an Educator because he is part of it anyway and will act like he is a victim of stolen identity.
