I was thinking of the ways my work life has changed due to technology advancements since 2000.1.

I think these important to consider: Time availability: Property management is time-consuming.

Here's what I was thinking...Can I ask him for a deposit to hold now that will then be used as his security deposit? 

I think contractors are everywhere, literally drive around or do a google or facebook search and vet them.

I am also getting 10k seller credit from seller, and could either use that one to buy down interest rate or just pay off the closing cost. the lender is giving me few option one with higher fund at closing and lower interest rate, and one with lower fund at closing with higher interest rate (about 0.2% difference) With the high interest rate right now, do you think it is better to do higher interest rate, and refinance later or should I just try to get as low as interest rate as possible and do not worry about refinance ? 

2 tenants in this duplex 1 pays on time every month the other one pays like 5 days late for 50% of rent then pays the rest even later if I evict I would have to give a 90 day notice as they have been there for a while (this is in ny) my property manager also thinks if I evict I can get 10-20% higher on this unit (this is my first property so i don't love taking on so much risk) just not sure what the correct move is here.

I was thinking luxury vinyl, but wanted to see what everyone else was using. 

I am thinking about taking the legal actions.

@Raeshelle Cooke I think you can take out a business loan since it does not post in your personal credit.
