I own a duplex in Upstate NY. I live in one side and rent the other. I put the property up for sale last month. My problem is, the agent can never get in to see the rental side because the tenant is never there when she shows up. The agent calls her with 24 hrs in advance, but she never picks up the phone and claims she never got the message on her machine. When she is there she claims she is too busy to show. What are my rights as a seller? If I give the tenant 24 hrs notice can I just go in and show the property? The tenant told me she will call the police if I go in and it is not an emergency. Do I have any legal recourse because she is hindering the sale of my property. If anyone can give me advice, please let me know. Thanks
She is on a month to month basis, with no lease.

Rent Back Fast

Bought a duplex in Sept in TN, remodeled, and put it up for rent. We have ZERO income form the property (just recently rented in Feb), only expenses. Without any income generation from TN, do we still need to file a TN return? We had plenty of expenses in TN (which we captured on our Fed return), but the only thing turbo tax is showing on TN return is stock sales (which I am marking as non-taxable as I paid CA state taxes – my resident state – hopefully I did that correctly).

Real Estate Professionals

I am interested in investing in some rental property and I would like to know what a good method is to determine how much I should pay for a rental property based on rent recieved.

For instance one duplex I have looked at has collected an average of 11,500 a year over the last 5 years. However, it is for sale for 275,000. That seems like a high asking price based on the amount of money it is generating.

(I know the amount of money a rental property is generating is not the only factor, but I think it should be an easy way to narrow down my options.)

Thanks!!
