I know it has only been 4 months, but so far both units are rented out with 2-year leases and we have had no issues to date.

We have been buy and hold investors for 10 years but have never dealt with this before so have a few questions.1) We currently have other tenants in place with a lease, what are the rules for notice to vacate for them?

Need to go through it again but this is a potential option that may work.I'm thinking do a master lease with an option to purchase and 100% of the rents going toward the principal of the purchase or something similar.

Screws, shims, caulk, false box up top, cleaner, random things... etc. 

My lease is up in October which is when I’d like to buy a duplex via FHA and live in one side.

One is a 6 year lease and the other a 3 year lease.

The Minnesota specific forms I'll need, an example of a lease agreement that has worked for you, a screening process that has had a high success rate for you. 

Hi BPers,I have come across a SFH in a good neighborhood which is presently leased to a senior care operator.What are the pros and cons of buying such a property.Thanks,Meena

You might want to study up on lease options and subject too purchases. 

The difference in your bank account balance between paying a property manager 11.67% (10% of gross rents plus 20% lease fee) and managing the property yourself when buying one 20% down rental property (in Northern Colorado) over 40 years is:If you invest the difference in the stock market and could get 8%, the difference becomes:If you're saving for a second purchase, it delays when you can buy that second property which further compounds the effect of property management fees on your overall net worth.And doing the full Nomad investing model, it is pretty significant differences.I am going to write a whole book about the impact on various investing scenarios.
