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?

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?
