Just visited the openhouse at 242 Washington.

The owner’s duplex is very nice, though we were not able to see the rentals. Our plan would be to rent out the rental units for a couple years before taking over and expanding the owner’s duplex to a triplex or quad. My worry is becoming a landlord and having to be resposible for three units. Does anyone here have advice or experience on being a resident landlord? Is it worth it or should we just keep looking for a house that is already configured as a two family?

Thanks in advance!
