If that does not work for you we can get together separately and then see what we can schedule.Just let me know.Phil 

Sometimes you can tell by noticing little gaps or separations at stairs, baseboard trim, door framing etc

I don't think that the owner has separate bank accounts for the tenant.

Preferably, units would have separate meters for utilities to be paid by each tenant. 

I typically don't have subsequent move-ins scheduled very tightly after move-outs, so when this happens it's more of an emotional hassle than anything else (because the tenant wants to then argue that I'm a monster for charging them rent because life happens . . . c'est la vie).If these one and two day delays significantly derail your process you might consider instituting some kind of "drip reminders" of the checkout process . . . starting 2 weeks before the lease-end date and dripping as often as you see needed to get the tenants out on time.

I think it might be because long term leases are separately assessed and have to pay ad valorem taxes, but easements do not, in Alabama.

They will be challenging as well because there is more of an emotional and business relationship to the property.

Purchase price: $44,000 Cash invested: $50,000 Converting a 4/2 into a duplex (2/1 each side)Medium rehab, most challenging aspect is separating the utilities, should rent $750-800 per side.

This would allow us to continue saving money (more than if we bought separately) and get into this market while our home hopefully appreciates with inflation. 

I recently completed a project where we purchased a 4-plex in Los Angeles, did a major renovation and then sold the units individually to separate buyers who purchased as Tenants in Common (TIC).
