Hey Jonathan,Nice pickup — a quad that size is perfect for dialing in your rehab systems.

I started to notice some issues early on when I tried to get some new tenants screened and signed up. 

Maybe something to consider with pros/cons and you need to run the numbers but that size home would be perfect.

The septic system depends on size of house and number of bathrooms so you would need to oversize or risk limiting new owners.

Durham passed some zoning laws that allows by-right development and they reduced min lot sizes and set backs to allow for more development.

While you're screening for tenants you can start the refinance process.

I usually screen my own tenants, so I'm asking for more information about them (FICO, employment history, etc.) and am planning on meeting them.It sounds as though it is a rental vs personal home.

Before offering, line up a local lender familiar with duplexes/triplexes, confirm zoning and owner‑occupancy rules, and pre‑screen a property manager even if you self‑manage.

Same for 2-years of job/income stability.Tenant Default: 10-20% probability of eviction or early lease termination.Section 8: Class C rents usually meet program requirements, proper screening still recommended.Vacancies: 10-20%, depending on market conditions and tenant screening.Cashflow vs Appreciation: Should cashflow immediately, at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.Class D Properties:Tenant Pool: Majority of FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, but should have no convictions/evictions in last 12 months.

all they do is help screen out properties.
