@Lumi Ispas, Thank you for your sharing your experiences and taking the time to respond in such a thorough and engaging manner. 

We also have a 360 camera and video for you to evaluate properties remotely.

I can't seem to find one and in the video it just ends with the end of the tool part... 

You can either set a new rent in your offer or require that the leases not be renewed at all before closing.From the sounds of the situation, I'd think that not renewing, so that you can rehab is the best option.Don't forget to take "before" videos to document the condition of the units as they were shown to you. 

If a 1031 is planned, you must engage a 3rd party 1031 intermediary (like @Dave Foster) ASAP, and absolutely before you sell the duplex.7.

Get a drop cam....that will send you photos/video when someone is in the house.   

@Greg Smith, I think I see your tenant in THIS VIDEO!

I’m not affiliated with the Real Estate Guys organization, I just enjoy their events and I have benefited tremendously from the education and network.1.Engage with people emotionally to get them to open up intellectuallyA potential investor might tell you “I’m looking for at least 10% cash on cash return and 18% IRR.”

I have been reading, listening to podcasts, and watching real estate investing videos a lot for the past few weeks.

Another thing I have started doing is making videos of the unit’s interior and exterior - which has saved me a few drives.
