The occupant is freelance so you could average out his income.

What is occupancy and rate and how does that compare to your competition? 

I will be selling the second lot to an owner occupant.   

But, should ask, what is the occupancy for the buyer? 

Another option is to split the cost based on the number of occupants in each unit but this also means you'll need to adjust the charges as tenants move in/out, so it requires more work and I wouldn't recommend it.

Building a duplex could enhance your portfolio, but be sure it aligns with your financial goals.If you have any questions about financing options or deal analysis, I’d be happy to help further!

The appeal, in my experinence, is a steady local base plus some vacationers passing through.I’ve got a freind who scooped up a place near the Ozarks and found that while huge cash flow was harder to come by, the consistent occupancy gave them fewer headaches over time.

Since I bought the duplex, I have noticed that ReadyREI tries to limit property viewing as much as possible, and I believe that the reason for this is clear - it is to hide issues and the condition of the property as much as possible.When I first spoke with Ready REI, I was told that they provide a “turnkey” house, that nothing needed to be done to get it ready for occupancy.

Totally agree with you and it looks like I need to get a business license to do the intermediate leasing occupancy (ILO) in SF.

@Mike LambertAs the hospitality industry is revitalizing from COVID, hotels are back to the increased occupancy rates.
