Both were converted from large SFH to multi family a long time ago.

I’ve sold 13 properties on terms.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

We have been contemplating our strategy to start our business by having my sister buy her first home locally here in Connecticut, a duplex as her primary residence and live in one unit with our mother, while renting out the other unit to a resident, and be able to also rent out her single-family house as a short term/midterm rental to traveling nursers/working professionals on furnish finder.

This has been well established for a long time. 

If they continue to smoke in the apartment, you have grounds to file for eviction due to them breaking the terms of the lease.

I am looking to learn what is the best way to leverage that through LLCs to get into the multi family or long term rental investment game. 

In the next couple of years I will look at whether the long-term appreciation approach is practical.

You might also be a good candidate for a small boutique hotel, an operator looking to retire will often entertain seller financing on fair terms and you could likely qualify for a SBA loan to help with your vision. 

I have some good folks now but it took a very long to put a good team together.
