I'm thinking of buying a duplex and intend on renting out each room individually.

Cherry-picking quotes WAY out of context to help prove our individual points, but that's a waste of time.

The cleaner will work for now but as you scale I recommend you get a seperate individual to inspect the cleaners work. 

X, being an entrepreneurial type, lets it be known that (tough guys with tough pasts and probably tough futures) can bunk down (for lack of a better term) in the rooms--for a weekly fee (in cash).All bedrooms will be filled with weekly paying (guests, as she calls them) unauthorized subletors, or she may stay there concurrently with the children sleeping wherever they can find an unused horizontal space--except in the subleted rooms.The main living area may be subleted to 2 or three more individuals if she moves out.The bedrooms typically contain just a dirty mattress on the floor, and may have lot of new looking (grown man's) clothes on the floor and fast food debris.Mrs.

I haven't found a way to contact leads en masse other than hitting each individual listing through AirBnB for instance - but I guess that's what VA(s) exist for lol. 

Hi Blaine,Have you started to look at what each of the three of you could qualify for individually?

If all fails, please consider reaching out to those representing the seller online and see what company/individual is currently managing the units prior to the sales transaction.... this could give you some great insight. 

I recently completed a project where we purchased a 4-plex in Los Angeles, did a major renovation and then sold the units individually to separate buyers who purchased as Tenants in Common (TIC).

While I am still looking to network with Real Estate Agents, Wholesalers, and other Investors, my belief is that communication will be easier with these individuals as we can schedule meetings, exchange email, and text. 

This varies significantly for every individual but you should have some basic criteria that is important to you.
