I’m a new investor and have followed BP for over 2 in the shadows and finally decided to join the party in November.

You and the lender can set the terms, which usually is a much better deal for both parties!

The other party already knows your worth.

@Brett Pogoda It isn't real unless it is in writing and signed by both parties......

Hard part is there is limited options to move into

However, I did pass on the information others by reaching out to selling agent about offers and their contact information for third party prospective buyer/s. 

@Justin GottusoBlow it on traveling and partying...life happens fast...enjoy it

Outside of that, detailed discussions about it are prohibited by the SEC in many instances.If you are thinking about changing the minds of the people who pander to the SJW's for votes on issues like this, realize as an Advertising Man that those SJW's are "Sold" on this line of thinking for a grander purpose (political control by the sellers), and not the granular (stated) issue of Landlord's making too much money (that's only fuel for the advertising to get them to hopefully Vote for the political party the Advertisers want them to vote for).

however if the SFH is all above grade it will be how well its converted and units are divided.. personal on a converted duplex I would prefer a side by side vs upper lower split because having a tenant above you with potentially lousy structure floors is super annoying for the lower tenants.. being split with a party wall is much better and also the fact if there are separate utilities.. 

You should be able to verify this on 3rd party sites like Zillow & Trulia. 3) What type of advice do you have for 1st time investors?
