She has basically asked us if he can move in November 1st and has already assumed it would be fine with us…We are not comfortable with the situation and are trying to figure out what our options are.

The problem with the outdated electric is it can be fine for years without any problems and then suddenly it goes bad. 

The MLS is fine for multis even though the market across the country is hot, but what most people forget or don't realize is that sites like Zillow and Redfin and several others mischaracterize a ton of multi-families as apartments or commercial and then they are not searchable in your parameters.

So, i could look for other lenders, but im curious to see if going the commercial route would be fine.

I am really needing to fine tune some of my maintenance, CAP X and vacancy numbers to help my underwriting when making offers.  

The management company said it was in working order, so why costs to repair and red flags that the cost is split as another resident damaged it...what is the truth-it was fine or it was damaged already or did it damage another person's car as well?

Focus on what we can control...adding value, good locations, cash flow, prudent debt, and reserves and we will be fine.

So I personally would be fine reading that, he as an attorney is only looking out for himself too. 

If you're going to live in one side this may affect the "cash flow," but if you buy based on positive projections from renting out both sides you should be fine as you'll be paying yourself the rent you may be currently paying, so it's not a sunk cost. 

I work full time but manage my one local property just fine without a management company.
