@Andrew HolmesYou are right.

@Andrew Powers it’s a 4 bed/2 bath and it wouldn’t be a house hack.

@Andrew Freed what a coincidence, my brother closed on about the same deal in December, congrats!

@Andrew PowersThank you.I am not one for taking chances myself.I will be speaking to my attorney in the coming days about this.From what I can gather the whole deal with the downstairs tenants is a cash thing.I feel I need to legitimize them so I have something legal in my hands if things go South.Or I could ask them to hand over the building vacant.The rent from this tenant would be nice though.I am hoping to come up with a plan of some descriptions that allows me to keep them but establish some go level of protection.

I agree with @Andrew Weiner in that the schools are a big factor in the longevity of people staying.

@Andrew B. you are right

As @Andrew Freed said for the Austin, TX area 2% would be mythical, 0.5% to 0.7% is pretty typical for the area currently.  

@Andrew Spell Thank you for all the information!
