I think that after that, they want you to take another course which leads to a larger cost but will ultimately open up their lenders for longer to you?

While ultimately, I think it worked out for me, I'm looking for another property now and would not use HomeUnion again. 

The only thing I would say to keep in mind, which you are already beginning to address, is to make sure you do ultimately get unit 2 up to market rent.It sounds like this should be a pretty good deal.

congratulations @Peter DarbyNot sure if you've read Brandon's blog on tenant screening, it has a lot of great tipshttps://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/2...Ultimately this is a people business.

I just don't want to add an amenity that will end up becoming a maintenance hassle for my super (and ultimately me).Thank you in advance for all your input.If you can give me brands and even models , that would be great and suggestions on where to purchase (though I realize this may be tough if you are not in NJ).

I have read the Ultimate Screening Guide and written a basic set of screening requirements but still have some questions that hoping someone could help answer (maybe before I have to hire an attorney). 1) On the tenant resource center page (http://www.tenantresourcecenter.org/discrimination) I found what seems to say that "unemployment" is a protected class in the city of Madison: Madison includes all extra classes in Dane County plus: Citizenship Status (City of Madison only)Genetic Identity (City of Madison only)the fact that a person declines to disclose their social security numberAtheismHomelessnessUnemploymentThat seems a little odd to me.

Takes work, but most things worthwhile do:) The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Wholesaling tells you what's all involved if you haven't read it yet.
