My initial thought and gut says to separately meter everything, as every time I buy a multi-family property, I separately meter it if this isn't already done. 

I always provide rent comps with my initial rent request and at rent increase requests. 

My initial response is I would get a loan on the duplex that is paid off in order to reinvest the money into another deal.

When I had my home appraised for a HELOC, they initially only required taking photos of the outside of the home.

Rents for a 2 bedroom are roughly 1000 for a decent place and i know a lot of people on here think thats a lot but it is typical hereMy business partner and i would initially move in to each side for rehab approx 1-2 yrs and "pay rent" we are young and already live together so thats not an issue we bounce around periodically, we would push off seperating utilities at least until we moved out, or maybe much later if possible.Anyways, Has anyone on here done this before or thought of doing it? 

Also, how common is it to renegotiate a long term deal with walgreens after their initial term.

You may be best served partnering with someone who has the cash, in exchange for you bringing the deals or doing some of the grunt work initially.- Josh

My initial offer will likely be 1.5 months.

Anything helps during the initiation process!!

Sorry guys I initially wrote a post but found my answer.
