I own a duplex in Clermont, FL just outside of Orlando and initially wanted to split water meters between the two units, but the cost and amount of work were higher than expected.

When I worked with a property management company, we had someone buy a unit (single family) that had a STR and marketed it as a STR.

Agree to allow the firm’s “entry level” attorneys handle your cases or as allowed by law their clerks?

@Lillian Pintaro,Birmingham’s a lucrative market—it’s been my stomping ground for nearly 20 years, and you can find some excellent deals if you know what you’re after and dive deep by zip code, neighborhood, and city block.For what it’s worth, we manage 2,000+ units (many for out-of-state investors) mostly in the north and west part of town—so think suburbs outside the city limits like Graysville (35073), Adamsville (35005), Mount Olive (35117), Center Point (35215), and the like.Since you’re also open to the surrounding areas, places like Odenville (to the east) and Tuscaloosa (to the southwest) could be worth checking out.

And while seller financing is a very common practice in business acquisition, the good deals are not being done with high levels of it.Particularly with smaller deals, and especially with a business like a laundromat, there are cash buyers out there.

I lived in the downstairs unit and rented the upstairs apartment.

My thoughts are to have a fire pit area in between the units since each will also have their own terraces.  

And 20% down for 2-4 unit DSCR.

Say a "partner" comes in and it's say the unit is set, rent stabilized with a 3yr term. 

Remember most of Pace's minions have limited understanding of this business so you have to take any endorsements with some level of skepticism. 100% true.
