This is actually my Grandfather's property that I am trying to get him a monthly cashflow since he is now in an assisted living situation.

If your lease agreement doesn't prohibit driving too fast in the residential area of the unit, you need to have a landlord attorney in your state look at the lease you're using, because driving too fast in a residential area may be a civil or criminal infraction or may even rise to the level of endangering the lives of others (neighbors).

Also, the state of formation is likely where internal disputes would be brought among LLC members, so if you and a partner and/or spouse live in CA, you probably want to arbitrate in CA if the two of you had a disagreement.

Would like to get all your expert thoughts on what's exactly stopping me from proceeding with a Duplex deal :)  Need to know how do I avoid the "would I live here?"

There are a lot of sketchy people living as roommates, so you want to cast a wide net, screen carefully, and be patient.

If I secure FHA funding, I would live in the house for the required time, then rent it out.

I'm house hacking so I do live in the basement while managing the property but had nothing to do with it and no idea who did.

I have properties in states other than the one I live in.

Construction materials: Frame, no basement, roof: asphalt shingles, Floor: Carpet on stairs and bedrooms, LVP: Kitchen and living room.

Clearly I will be doing tons of work on the house, and not living there at all.
