Okay pal, go with them I am sure it will work out the same (sarcasm) (hangs up phone).Like anything in life, you get what you pay for. 

The thing is huge and just sucks to have it sitting empty outside of me hanging out in there with a couple beers and a TV on nice days. 

Then you can determine whether or not to hang on to that one or seek something somewhere else.Even the decision to move into other asset classes like equities or whatever will need you to factor in the loss of investing capital in the form of capital gains tax (plus 5 years of depreciation recapture). 

Hang in there—I hope you can find a solution that works!

Once you feel like you've gotten the hang of the numbers, start putting offers in that make sense.

I am trying to get a good hang of the rehab costs since I’m new to the are (from Dallas).

Obviously that takes time to rebuild, but hanging out in a second property they own is not burdensome.

If you are able to hold onto the duplex, I would hire a solid property management company and hang on to it.

Great post @Garrett Brown, we have a vibey outdoor hang with string lights, plants and seating by a mini gas fire pit.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.
