@Mike Dymski Exactly! I just skim over the all the hater reply’s.. they offer nothing to the discussion.. but luckily there are also plenty of successful pros willing to discuss and help the inexperienced. Great Thanks to all the Helpful pros.

Great question- Great discussion.. I’m expecting to deal with similar issues soon as I continue onto my second hack.

Fantastic to hear from all the pros.. lots of solid info through these threads. Thanks.

@Pawel Cwierz I know exactly how you feel and I’m in a similar situation... ignorance is bliss.

@Frank Patalano New investor here...

Passively investing in a syndicate?

I think I understand a little bit about it but before I take to google, please elaborate. Thanks much

My wife and I bought our duplex a little over a year ago and.. we had very little reserves after closing. This was risky but it’s been well worth it. We’ve had a few small issues pop up but still managed to save some cash over the year.. now we’re a little more comfortable. Plus we’ve begun to build equity, which is great in case of a worst case scenario.

My suggestion would be to go for it. It’s worth it and you’ll figure things out along the way as we have done. Stay positive and do the best you can to find a home that has been taken care of.. they may be few, but they’re out there.

Good Luck!!

@Chris Taylor

Lots of great info so far.. but you certainly sound educated enough to make the right decision for yourself.

Good luck

@Heidi Kenefick Brilliant. Wait for the right deal. God luck!

I recently had 6 windows replaced in one of my units (six windows total) I also planned to measure and even install them myself.. not long after I started the first window I had realized I was out of my comfort zone. I was unsure of my measurements, unsure how to remove the windows without damaging stuff, PROPERLY insulating them, then reinstalling.

I hired Home Depot and they did a fantastic job.. I had them install base style windows (not super efficient but look great) I payed exactly what had been previously quoted and the job was completed quick and clean. Little less then 3G’s if I remember correctly. Good luck
