Ok… I am hooked and can’t seem to stop reading your posts! Trust your gut… if you think there are iffy things and they make you at all uneasy it’s much better to move on. TRUST me. I don’t know where you are located but if you have yet to have to go through the trouble and pain of kicking a tenant out… it’s a long and painful process which is made even worse if you live above/below them.

This blog is fantastic! I plan on buying a duplex after the New Year and a friend has already agreed to rent the other side. Getting to read about the trials and triumphs of being a single woman in an investment property is great preparation. My favorite blogs are the ones about upkeep and repairs because those are my biggest fears. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading!

I am SO, SO GLAD I came across your blog! I have the same set-up you do, renting out the upstairs, and I just bought this place (and started landlording) 6/30/08. I’ve had to go through finding a tenant once, so far, and we’ll see how things go with her of course, but I think I made a good decision. I did have to reject a pair of students and felt like a huge ass about it, but the circumstances just weren’t in their favor (at all; they didn’t even have their financial aid figured out, yet, and classes were starting the next day. Shows a lot of drive and ambition, eh?) Anyway, know that I’m reading!
