While this might seem like a downside, it's important to keep the bigger picture in mind.If you’re looking at a duplex in a good area, close to your work, and the numbers still make sense—even with those lower rents—don’t let that deter you.

I would say at minimum you need your lease, your 3day notice letter, mail receipts, pictures, etc, also perhaps a copy of your bank statement where you show they paid rent, then didn't.Get busy with this....if they can't pay $900 or whatever this month, no way they can probably pay $1800 next month or $2700 in month 3.One thing that might save you time.....mail, certify mail, and hand deliver your 3 day notice. 

I would recommend creating a short business synopsis/plan of the property, the numbers, pictures, and comps and send it around to close family and friends that might be interested in lending or partnering.

Stay prepared, stay resilient, and always keep your eyes on the bigger picture.

Paint an alluring picture of what the buyers life could look like.Lastly, remember fair housing rules (although a flat fee broker should review and eliminate any violations as part of their quality control process).

They truly are a good local business who values their employees and customers so I want to go with them for the leaks repair, and the annual maintenance. 

If you do, you need to find a new one and relist with new pictures, so you may push yourself off the market a week or two.Ask your agent what feedback he is getting on the showings.

The pictures look great.If you are seeing demand for EV chargers from the renter population in your area, then that could be a great addition. 

When I first saw that picture, all I could think of was the "Amityville Horror" house.https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0078767/mediaviewer/rm2920252416/... 

This is basically how bored tax geeks entertain themselves, nothing mean or personal.This picture illustrates our mini-debate regarding IRS publications quite well.
