Personally, seeing as how it's a duplex consisting of that layout rather than a 30 unit apartment building, I doubt that you'd have troubles finding prospective tenants and having low vacancy rates.

well that sounds more like a qualifier and the prospective tenant might be more inclined to say no, even if they do.

One prospective tenant for the downstairs unit (a 3/1) has inquired - but only for rent by the room.

@Peta-Gay Merrick we are renting homes 100% virtually and not meeting any prospects.1) Showings: all self-showings using ShowingHero (see also Rently and Show Mojo)2) Applications: all online3) Lease Signings: all sent digitally (we use DocuSIgn)4) MoveIns: we place a lockbox and then give hen access code for keyTo avoid tenants taking advantage of COVID-19 restirctions on evictions, you should ALREADY have in place a great screening process.

I'd recommend you consider the following:    - How do the numbers look (both appreciation prospects and cash flow)?  

Just this past fall in NYC, landlords were barred from sharing a blacklist, denying a prospective tenant based on a recent eviction, even looking up housing court records.

Hey everyone - I am doing as much research as I can to find deals for my first house hack. I know Brandon, many members on here and the podcast, books like the Millionaire Real Estate Investor, etc. all talk about mar...

We went under contract in January, but the prospective buyers cancelled; it was not the right home for them.

I can find prospects quite easily in the 8%+ cap rate.

Most of your friend and families WILL NOT GET IT, and may even deter you from getting started.
