I do, however, have a full time job as a RN along with being a full time single mother but I am determined to make this work.

By setting up an LLC or an S-Corp depending on the type of investing you are doing, you can determine who gets what percentage of ownership and who gets what benefits.

Determine the CCR on those properties. 

Thanks Ron,Is there a way to determine that information about the mortgages?

They got the appraisal back and informed me that the appraisal determined the property value at a favorable valuation ( surprisingly on par with what SFRs in the area would get per SF).

You'll need to do some comp research to determine what the rents will become.

In all four of those situations, the houses were appraised with a comparative sales approach; however, the appraiser was usually able to find at least 1-2 nearby properties that were also duplexes.Rental amounts were included in the data for the appraisals, but I don't think they were used at all for determining the appraisal value. 

Can you get a realtor to pull some comps for you to help better determine your price point?

I'd suggest determining how you want to proceed.

But look at employment history, past landlord referrals and determine why the credit score may be less than stellar.
