.): ~$35K (assuming 8%)Total Cost: ~$375K–$385KProjected Profit: $65K–$75K before taxesThat is a decent margin, but this being a two-year project, you need to be sure the market doesn't shift downward, and that you have a buffer for unexpected costs.3.

If your goals are long-term - this market will offer a ton of appreciation and steady renter demand.

This market is huge.My only advise would be always searching for deals and running the number using the calculators the BP has.

But it goes to show everyone reading this that marketed projected returns are often the primary metric many investors look at.  

Logan county has the highest price per square foot new build in our market right now almost $400 per square foot.

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

I have found a good market and have built a good team thus far and I'm ready for my first flip.

Low or no down, seller financing and low or no interest with a balloon payment later is the holy grail (location, building condition, market also matter but it sounds like you have all that).

Rented at $3,215 to a Section 8 Long-Term Tenant instead of a Long-Term Market Tenants for $2,400.

It sounds like your current property manager may not be marketing the rental effectively, and the fact that it's listed incorrectly as an apartment instead of a duplex could be turning off potential renters.
