The main difference between this year and last year does not appear on charts or graphs.

I am looking to purchase a single family home which has 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living area, bathroom on main floor.

If you have a small multifamily (let’s say 4-family apartment) that has a main common entry door into the building, are you supposed to change the lock whenever any tenant moves and then give all the tenants the new key?

Yes there is a main meeting on the 16th but there are also several other meetups this week and another meeting on Saturday.

I want guaranteed monthly rents because when I purchase my main focus is cash flow, then equity in the form of added value (renovations, adding extra bedroom, etc).

One property is about 3 acres that my main house is on and the other is just land with a well on it and it's about 2 acres.

The pro is that if you refinance, lenders mainly only recognize one lease per home. 

My main goal is to get this house rented so I can start shopping for my first duplex...

I later heard but never exactly why, that the place was an absolute money pit and the buyer, who was very experienced, regretted buying it big time.It is interesting, but I ALWAYS do at least a bit of research on the prior owners and have found few "hard luck" stories, at least as far as either higher or high priced single fams go, they're by far the same story where the owner makes the financial decision to walk away, mainly due to the insane HELOC's etc they were giving out, like 125% of home's current value back in like 2006, so now they'll owe literally like $750k on a home that IF in great shape would at best fetch $500k, PLUS they trashed or semi-trashed the place, so they'd be really lucky to get $400k as is and often they may be business owners or whatever and have a relationship with a local bank who will then know "the whole story" behind the big hit they take to their credit score and not treat it nearly as harshly as the average Joe, who's practically banned from even entering the bank for years!

I think the main problem is to figure out if the property works as a first time house hacker/ investor.
