One Tenant is in her late 50s and often pays 15 day late. 

You would also get an extra few months out of them because they are part-way through their leases right now, and if you make them sign a one-year lease for the 2-unit, you'll inherently extend their stay with you.

Hello BiggerPockets,I have been mostly lurking in here for a few months, asking a question or two, but really just trying to figure out WHAT I need to know and HOW to ask it.

I just wanted to jump in here.

One of those tenants was already established when we purchased the property (and he didnt previously have any access to the laundry), while the second tenant moved in after we purchased the property and thus when she signed the lease the onsite laundry was likely a consideration for her in her decision to move in.We are planning a remodel in our kitchen that will result in the removal of the onsite washer/dryer from the enclosed laundry porch outside our kitchen.

This endeavor isn't inherently wrong (when achieved within the rule of law), but it is something that is perhaps so effective that some do not realize it is happening; like being in the matrix.  

I discussed with her taking the equity in her current house to purchase a new one, then have tenants move in pay the mortgage on the CT house.

The management is always annoyed at "a difficult one" and glad to be rid of them.Can you imagine working as an assistant in a place like this and knocking on a door and going in to find the little old lady inside on the floor, begging you not to tell the management that her ankle is broken, insisting that she can just use a crutch to get around, and she'll pay you to keep quiet, she has money where no one knows about it...My wife is a workaholic, and that is the only job she ever just up and quit in her life.

Hello everyone - hoping some of you with experience investing in small towns might be able to weigh in here and provide some guidance. 

But believe it or not I haven't seen him in three years except when we went to lunch a few months ago.So I wouldn't worry too much about the "local" obstacle.
