I am hoping that you all could provide a few tips for marketing the properties.

I'd be excited to get rid of that balloon mortgage and lock in a lower rate, fixed rate mortgage.

@Jay Hinrichsthanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip @Lance Wakefield.

Thanks for the awesome tips by the way!

I appreciate the helpful tip@Missy H.

Aside from changing the locks I have made no repairs and didn't even have to switch the utilities to my name!

That's what makes the idea of a 2 unit interesting to me...there is a separate entrance already into the basement: you walked by a locked door that leads to the upstairs 1/2 of the house.

I don't think living near colleges means you are locked into renting to college students. 

Thanks for the tip Gino.i'll be in Milwaukee next week, April 18-23, 2016 and would like to meet some investors.
