I have a few follow up questions:1) What's an example of "get referrals and cross reference them to get as much accurate information as possible"? 

When so many renters stopped paying rent during COVID, companies like SureVestor stopped taking new accounts because they were facing a significant number of claimes.I personally don't see it as a good solution.

Some lenders offer creative solutions, like a cross-collateralized loan, where they use your existing equity as security without refinancing the duplex.Another idea is partnering with private lenders or exploring a second-position mortgage, depending on your lender's terms.

It’s a great way to maximize rental income while offering a unique solution to tenants.- Value-Add Investments: Beyond cosmetic upgrades, think about adding amenities like solar panels, EV charging stations, or smart home tech.

While the RentRedi's loaded with various toggles/buttons and affordable given the all-you-can-eat pricing, the interface is still very elementary and lacking in usability/design, which is often overlooked as a key determinant of whether your team actually adopts and fully leverages powerful management solutions like these.

You'd be delivering BIG and powerful solutions.

* Are there creative solutions landlords use to address tenant concerns about parking in this area?

Section 8 refers to a voucher that some people use to pay for their housing.

One solution I see some people do is to partner with another investor on a couple of deals where each brings something to the table...more capital, experience, etc.

I know hosts have included additional cleaning fees for violations as a deterrent.If none of these solutions work, you could look into completely independent HVAC systems for the two units, though that would be a bigger upfront investment.
