I need to move across the country and it isn't feasible to manage the property.

Additional things to consider: where is the breaker box and do both units have access to it if needed?

There are other towns with much less city intervention and will have much higher chances of collecting higher rents. 

If it's not too much trouble I'd love to see what you have for Raleigh, NC.

By the time you need to evict due to hoarding they have probably violated multiple other more definable lease clauses.  

Also, I plan to put 20% down...rather than 25%...which will allow me to keep cash on hand to complete the needed rehab.  

I would add that this is a geat time to reassess not only insurance coverage but any recurring expense as well as maintenance needs.

Other than reduced bonus depreciation (if you're using that strategy), without any tax law changes, rates will be largely the same for 2025 as 2024, so you may not lose much by delaying receipt of the bonus by a month or two. 

Yes you need 5 people per bedroom. 1 single person short and the Sheriff will simply leave and you have to start all over again.

For a single-family, you'll typically need 15% down, while for a multi-family, you'll be looking at 25-30% down.
