I am considering a buy and hold strategy with a Duplex that has 2 three bedroom units, one is 1 bath and the other is 1 1/2 bath. Both units have oil heat and hot water. Is this something to be concerned about that may eat heavily into my cash flow or am I just over-thinking this?

Would appreciate any feedback if you have been in this situation or a similar one. Thanks!

Thank you Karen and Christine P. for your comments and helpfull insight.

Can't wait to get started!

Welcome to BP! I don't really know much about flipping, but I can tell you that there are a ton of people on here that do. Good luck!

Welcome! I'm a newbie too and I can tell you there is a ton of stuff on BP. Blessings in all you do!

Hello! I am a newbie from Pitman, New Jersey. My name is Brad, I am 26 years old and I am a middle school social studies teacher with absolutely no experience whatsoever in real estate. My wife and I are looking to get started as investors by using the buy and hold strategy to generate some passive income and well as move into owning our first home. My goal is that we can amass enough passive income and continue "trading up" our investment properties to eventually make enough for my wife to stop working, for us to have a nice little nest egg for retirement, and most importantly so we can be a bigger blessing to those around us. Thanks for reading! Blessings!
