We were not immune as we lost about 20 units, but they were either owners with unreal expectations and/or underperforming units due to not being well located/renovated/lacking amenities etc. 

I have been contacted by multiple corporate housing companies that would like to secure long-term leases and then operate it themselves.

@Brendan M BrownRochester can be a little weird with locations, so you'll want to be mindful of your target tenants with the sub 150k duplexes.  

@Alejandro Ferrer you can have thermostats that limit the temperature the heat can be set to but where are you located that you think they can turn the heat off when they aren't home? 

You didn't say where you're located, but definitely check this out by calling the State Registrar of Contractors.

It takes time to understand a local market, what people want and where they want to be located.

Location is king.

It is located in the backyard and is raised on the deck/patio area.
