I don't think I want to put her on the lease right away in case it doesn't last long but I'd love some advice here on how best to approach this.

I love parks and duplexes both and wouldn't do this deal unless the park was close to you and you could convert some of those POH to TOH at rents close to what they're getting now.What are the market lot rents where you are?

Some investors love it for the guaranteed rent and lower vacancy, while others say the inspections, red tape, and tenant management make it not worth the trouble.For those of you who’ve done it — or are doing it now:How’s your cash flow and stability compared to market-rate rentals?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s gone through this — how do you handle it in your deals?

There are so many things to do in real estate and so many people to learn from, I would take this time to really dive in and try a couple different things to pick from and then go to what you really love. 

Always handled with curtesy and respect. 

Id love to learn from them.

That mix of one vacant side and one leased side can definitely get messy with FHA’s owner-occupancy rules.If you need the place vacant to satisfy FHA, I’d keep it simple in the offer and just say something like:“Seller to deliver both units vacant at closing, and provide tenant notice within X days after due diligence ends.”That makes it clear what you need while still giving the seller a fair window to handle the notice properly.That said, since the other lease runs until next July, there’s a good chance the tenant won’t (and legally doesn’t have to) move early unless there’s some incentive.

I am always buying in the area and would love to help if possible!

The only reason I'm considering this deal It's very local to me and any renovations, management I can handle myself.
