I am a longtime landlord that has normally just rented my unit to individuals after I complete my normal background and credit checks. 

I'm interested in a 5-unit or larger for my next purchase, depending on any number of other factors.Happy to be here and looking forward to making great connections!

Again, I do not like being in a tenant's unit without them there -- it can open up a can of worms. 

I am negotiating a purchase of a mixed unit property (consisting of 4 residential units and 1 commercial space0.

@Hannah Lewis Yes, I have 11 units in Albany.

chicago has some of the best small multi unit stock in the country.

Another approach is "house hacking," involving the purchase of a multi-unit property, residing in one unit, and renting out others for short-term stays.

When I'm evicting tenants from a unit, I always put the tenant's name and the words "and all others".

I tell them it's just a formality, even though it is ordinarily the beginning of an eviction process.In the lease they give me the right to advertise the unit for lease 30 days in advance online, with a yard sign, and with a sign in the window.

A couple of facts: a) Not planning to sell it anytime before 5 or 10 yearsb) Planning to refinance it next year or so, after the renovations are overc) Planning to use the unit with backyard as short term rental- General contractor gave me a very high number.
