Built in 1905, this property features a total of 2,832 square feet of living space, divided into two units.

It's not quite as easy as renting out two sides of a duplex, but with the right marketing and management you could rent out the extra unit to supplement the mortgage payment. 

I have two "casitas" and a two bedroom two bath 1600' home ready to get installed.

As it relates to lease end dates I've seen two things work here. 1) You can stagger end dates as mentioned above or 2) you can optimize for summer - this works better for us in areas where you see students or families with school age children moving to align with the summmer months.Separately, this is a great argument against month-to-month leases.  

The property has forced air furnace in one unit, two boilers heat the other four units. 

I bought my first two liens over the counter and was able to foreclose on both and made out very well.

Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.

Hi Fredrick,It’s great that you have two strong applicants for your property!

Any advice regarding the pros and cons of these two cities?
