I do not like difficult tenants as well but if it is reasonable to keep them from business point of view - I may keep them.

Bay View and West Allis are other areas that have a lot of duplexes. 

Each bill has a unit cost, but unit costs don't just describe a single unit.

Negotiation point is my view.

fix what they have described as being wrong and have the inspector come out, doubt they will be too pushy about having pretty pictures drawn up

Seller financing such as you describe is much more limited than it used to be.

Could you possibly describe how you managed all of this with a FT job and your financing.

However, my wife and I are very eager to take a look at a couple properties in particular that we feel are especially good options and may sell soon.Should we wait until we hear back from and can coordinate with our realtor, or should I contact the listing agents myself to see if they can set up showings in the next day or two.Disadvantages/advantages to starting to view properties without our realtor?

Or would they be viewed the same to an underwriter.

Day to day SS may be hard to keep clean, but it will be fairly shiny for an home viewing even if the appliance is fairly old.
