I was more referring to whether you should manage yourself or not.

That includes a duplex - it doesn't make a difference if you're living in one side or not.

Also you shouldn't be counting on agents to tell you if a house is valued correctly or not, if you can't determine that on your own don't buy anything yet. 

The way that’s written it would only be if you got cold feet and failed to close a transaction in the middle of deal, not if you just never found a property. 

A notification system for pending or delayed payments would absolutely reduce stress, especially around move-ins or rent adjustments.Inspections:I use a basic checklist that mirrors HQS standards, but honestly, inspector subjectivity still throws things off.

Try using the @ to tag people and we will certainly get notification that you were speaking to us. 

Or, they couldn't afford the payments or simply wanted to sell the property.Depending on the circumstances, if the lender was notified of the death of the borrower and proper notification had not been given to the heirs by the bank of the foreclosure, the foreclosure would simply be started over again.

Not if your strategy is long term buy and hold.

Probably not.

They will be able to tell you if they need to be removed or not.
