I would really appreciate any advice or insights from those who have been in a similar situation.This is our second investment property, and the first one is also managed by the same property manager.

@Leticia Ramos if this were me, I would only proceed if we had specified in our lease with them that this was an eventuality and that they had agreed to it by signing the lease.If your lease is silent on this, then I would wait until lease renewal time and make those conditions part of the new lease.

I guess I’ll start by asking where did you guys start when it comes to investing?

I've gotten a few good deals by confirming the additional beds/baths are not permitted as I buy it at what's actually permitted and go through the hassle of getting the rest permitted myself.

By carefully planning and leveraging your resources, you can maximize the potential of your inherited property and strategically use a HELOC to grow your real estate portfolio.

But the factor helping you is the amortization of the loan (principle paid down on the loan  by the tenant).

6% for the Commonwealth, 1% extra for local tax, 7% more by the sale people who take the 1%, Allegheny County.When did this become Europegheny County?

So, I would find a handyman or something who could do that or maybe first just have the cleaning person try a product by hand meant to remove scratches which I think does the same thing but with manual scrubbing.

My plan is to house hack a duplex by using the equity in my current single family house to fund the down payment.
