We handle all of our own printing and we save about 1/3rd of typical printing costs. 

The biggest is, you will hit scaling challenges quickly.

I have done an eviction, I am going through a pretty deep legal challenge in another instance, and tenants have just left on their own. 

While I would love to have an entire home to myself as I see it as my sanctuary after a challenging work day I realize the financial advantage to having people assist you with your mortgage although being a landlord comes with certain headaches.  

If you  are seriously looking into buying this property and possibly using it as 2-unit now or in the future, I'd suggest spending $150-200 with a land development consultant who could explain to you the issues and challenges related to such rezoning process.All that said, City of Austin code enforcement is very complaint driven.

So I am trying to figure out the best way to handle the banking side.  

But I do know local managers that rip off out of state investors and such even tried on me but difference is im here locally and handle my own maintenance and such so harder to get away with overcharging me and such. let me make this very clear I do not offer turn key properties or practice unfair business practices as you seem to almost be implying but like described I do see happening nd this is why I question this cause I would like offer quality honesty and integrity where it is lacking .

Every time I have a vacancy, I always smile at the fact that 9 times out of ten... shoot, 99 times out of 100, it's the woman who makes the phone calls, asks the most questions at showings, handles the paperwork and money...The guy just kinda stands there.Just an observation...I have a vacancy now and it's always a woman that calls.

Per the conversation with the attorney whose firm handles the sale in Clayton Co.

I would love some one with experience to challenge me on my financial model for apartment investing. enjoy the last few great days of summer in Chicago:)
