Unless you ran a full credit, criminal, and eviction check using the tenants SSN and drivers license (which you must have their permission to do) you can't be sure that the records you are viewing are in fact one and the same person who was your tenant.

That's where the rubber meets the road in REI. 

There's here where I'm at in Hampton Roads, Virginia.

As you can see, there are no major roads south of HWY 160 or near the Sloan area.

No major roads between the house and the beach?

That said, bookkeeping is a need-to-have from day 1 and switching down the road can be a total PITA.

But no one knows now since the can has been kicked way down the road.

But I have been looking into splitting the duplex into two condos (yes I know it is a lot of work) and I could probably get 325-350k for each, netting me 650-700k.Number:* Mortgage interest 2.5%* Mortgage principle 240k* PITI $2100/month* Rent 2200/month (current tenant on a two year lease)* Potential rent on my side $2400/month * 100k HELOC at 11% (fixed) (not currently being used)* est additional cost to split the dueplex 75-100k (conservative, probably less)     *new siding 30k (just put on a new roof this year)     *legal 10-15k     *fire proofing 15k     * 15-40k for stuff I am not aware of or underestimated on* some of the appreciation is external from the home     *big grocery store put in 3min away     * newly paved road in front of my house     *a building that was falling down across the street has been torn down          * Still a vacant lot with the foundation exposed and fencing around it (so more local improvements are on the way)Part of me wants to take the money and run but man I love that 2.5% interest rate and the $2000/month cash flow (including taxes and capx)I have thought about 1031 exchanging into more rentals, but I would like to pivot into storage units.

They are also compensating the local government there to stimulate economy and make roads and what not better.

We'd like to keep the property and re-approach the project down the road - it's in a great spot near the blue ridge in a growing area.
