There are a ton of great people on this site who are willing to share.

I'm the manager, but I know the owner was open to pets and it's reflected in the lease. 

@Mike Messersmith Thanks for sharing that blog post.  

Then please share that information.

Do you write your own lease agreements, or have any resources you would be willing to share.

My guess is that both properties would be used as collateral since they share the same deed and both you and your in-laws could have to qualify for the loan but this isn't my area of expertise. 

I asked what the difference was (sounds all the same to me), and they said that duplexes had two seporate addresses whereas a 2 unit multifamily shares the same address.

pm me so i can share their info for you are not supposed to do so here.

Rents definitely reflect it, you get less in rent because the tenants know that they will pay more to heat.

I noticed this post was from 4 years ago, but can you also share the lawyer’s information with me as well?
