They lived on the other side of our personal duplex so, while I wouldn't go quite as far as to call us friends, we did know them better and had a friendlier relationship with them as compared to our other tenants that we didn't share a backyard and porch with!

Pull their own credit report and scores and share that with all lenders within 30 days

The owner also shared that this is an "illegal" duplex but has never had an issue with the city, even when enforcing an eviction.Thanks for any advice on this one!

@Nicholas Landiak Thanks for sharing your experience!

If you have a single family home, they will already need to be on the lower end of that range, because a single family has 5 exposed surfaces, as compared to a townhome or apartment with shared walls.  

I'm here to share my journey and to learn as much as I can! 

If so, can you share your experience? 

Anyhow, what I'm doing in BP is trying to learn as much as possible, find knowledge, share personal projects, get/give advise whenever possible, make connections, all in line with making my dream possible one day which is to run a small family run investing firm.
