I don't live there so I have no pony in this race.Why should it matter related or unrelated as long as you are at the legal limit in occupancy.  

I would not invest if the good guys are losing ground, but that would run counter to your description that it is an appreciating area.It looks fine to invest in for the information you shared if the long term forecast for the area is safe and stable to improving.

Or even the benefits/cons of that relationship being long term?

There are 100's of real estate podcasts out there and honestly I have found many that are better than BP as they have people who have been in real estate and business for a very long time and could run circles around some of the hosts. 

I'm saying that's not for everyone and I'm thinking more and more people should think long and hard about the possibility of owning rentals first.

For me, the last thing I want is to be pitched or sold.

Occupied by Past Owner in one unit, the other unit is empty.I have hired a property Management company to complete eviction - Upon receiving Eviction notice, Past Owner / Tenant went to the Property Management office and insisted that she still owns the property, refused to sign a lease, and stated that she won’t pay rent for her own property.Property Management company stated that this will not be resolved without going in front of a judge and told me that it can be filed at the end of the month.How long with this process take?

(I bought it 3 years ago)I'm trying to see how long in the future I will need to do another gut renovation, so I can start saving up some money toward it.Things are in pretty good shape.

I've sold about a dozen of my flips in the last couple of months to two different HFs.

I just purchased a 2nd rental property last week with this same LLC.These 2 rental properties have total equity of about ~$1.5M (both are owned outright).
