I am planning on renting it furnished.

Therefore, my wife and I have decided to simply build our own properties to rent or sell. 

Check the most recent rental comps to give you ideas for finishes to get the rent you are targeting.

They should be able to guide you through the benefits of each scenario... just tell them you're thinking about living in the quad or potentially just renting out all four units.

I have been thinking about renting a place for myself and putting the $1 mil to work in real estate investments but diversified in markets, and direct syndication. 

My research has turned up a rural area with a decent rental market where 68% own and 32% rent.  

- How do you currently handle tasks like maintenance requests, rent collection, and tenant communications?

I recently bought a rental and the insurance broker asked if I would be renting to students.

Two of them I tried to place them on Section 8, but they get rented before that happened.

I have a tenant who has never been able to make rent on time, they are typically making partial payments throughout the month to get current on rent before the start of the following month.
