You stand a good chance of making a quick and unexpected entrance through it and into your livingroom.

I guess you could say that was my entrance in to real estate since now I can see what happens on a day to day basis.

What if you knew neighborhood details tooâ¦We would pull to the entrance of the neighborhood and jot down some notes in the corner of the page ie “Eagle Point, 2 lights south of the Walmart on Kennedy.

Hello,I am starting in real estate and the market around here is very lucrative for vacation rentals.I was thinking buying a large house (~3000sqft), split it in a way to leave a granny flat for me (~600sqft), and rent the rest (~2400 sqft) to vacation rentals.I have found a couple houses where the flow makes sense, and provide a separate entrance for each party.

Like the idea Chance, but you might look for a properly zoned, up to code, duplex with a separate units (entrances, meters, addresses, etc) just to get a clean start. 

Non-sprinkled (smoke detectors only), electric installed in conduit as well as circuit breakers, central gas boiler and contains no common hallways ( exterior entrances to each apartment).

You will need a separate entrance and exit and depending how you charge the tenants separate utilities. 

They cannot deny you entrance to do maintenance if you give the advance notice required by your state's laws.

That is pretty common to have a separate entrance.  

One other idea, that might show the tenant you're as concerned as he/she is, is to put up a fairly cheap surveillance system to monitor and entrance where the packages might be dropped off during the day.
