Landlord training for duplex buyers
Homebuyers purchasing a duplex using the WHEDA Fannie Mae Advantage are required to take landlord training courses.
You will want to contact the home buying counseling agency in your area or your local housing authority to find out when those trainings are offered.
In the City of Milwaukee, landlord trainings are held each month. The five-hour training program is free and includes a 100-page manual. Interested buyers can sign up on the City of Milwaukee’s website.
If you are unable to find a local landlord training class, use Fannie Mae's "Becoming a Landlord" guide. After reviewing the study guide, take the self examination. The 2-unit property buyer must then meet with their local home counselor or lender to review the self examination and receive a signed certificate of completion.
