I find it odd that at 27 years old that neither of the tenants have ever lived outside of a family’s house.

Has anyone here ever done this?

I'm not sure I've ever seen this type of "on-site manager" arrangement in a small multi become a salvageable relationship once the new sheriff (you) is in town. 

I have not worked out all the details yet but wondered if anyone has looked into this option ever?

I said that I wanted to stick to a robust, *low risk* area that goes up steadily over time, and also does not lose value that much in a downturn (this was my first home purchase ever, so I was very risk averse understandably).

Did you ever find someone?

Prevents you from ever having to file personal bankruptcy in such a case. 

Let me know if I can ever be of assistance.

These tools I have found here on BP, is eye opening,  I have never did any spread sheets ever.    

Ever since then, I became hungry and thirsty for real estate knowledge.
