@Michelle Curran - Here is a CSS Decision Diagram flowchart intended to bring together all the various questions when assessing the benefits of a CSS (via a professional or DIY).

So back to general knowledge, what I would really be assessing is first: what do you actually need?  

Understand Your Assessment: Review your property assessment carefully to ensure its accuracy.

Understanding the potential rental income is crucial in assessing the profitability of the investment.Expenses: Do you have a clear understanding of all the expenses associated with owning the duplex?

Writing the Contract:**It's highly advisable to consult with a real estate attorney who can draft a comprehensive contract that outlines all the terms and conditions of the seller financing arrangement.

Will they also provide you with comprehensive tax planning? 

Appraisers base their assessments on recent similar property transactions in the region, not only your purchase price or desired loan amount, and they take into account market trends, so a short ownership term is unlikely to increase the worth of your property.

While sellers or wholesalers may sometimes dictate the title company, having your preferred option ready can be advantageous.To vet potential team members, engage in conversations and assess their responsiveness.

My property management has been good about day-to-day items like appliances and turn overs, but poor at comprehensive solve like exterior leaks and only one individual has been good at communicating with tenants.
