My SO isn’t overly fond of living in our duplex (which I bought without her input) but does see the upside and the benefits of doing so each month when that rent money comes in.

With me being new to all of this, I want to get as much input as possible from everyone who can make a recommendation or possibly help me avoid a major pitfall that I don't see coming.

The only item I ever look at financials for is confirmation on who is paying utilities and what those are costing, if LL responsible, and even this can often be found with a quick call to the local utility and a question to the seller or listing agent about who's responsible for utilities.b) re-trading a deal is only frowned upon if you are re-trading on the smallest discrepancy.  

Thanks for the input! 

Thanks Peter, I appreciate your input.

Hopefully someone from that area will chime in or reach out to the real estate agent that helped you purchase the property for their input/advice

@Kevin Sobilo, I really appreciate your input.
