@Mitchell P.If it is a bungalow with an accessory apartment is it even classified as a duplex?  

If you can keep it rented most of the time, I wonder how the cost of completely furnishing a place with everything including kitchen appliances and accessories, and the carry costs of utilities, compares to the rent coming in.

Hi everyone I have been listening to the podcasts a great wealth of information.I find them funny easy to listen to everyone is trying to improve themselves and help others,I'm glad I  stumbled across them.I work about 50 hours a week on my sales job covering 4 states on the road a lot.I get to see some great sights.I presently own a home with a  accessory apartment, An older 2 unit which I'm upgrading and a condo.I would like to expand and eventually do this full-time.I am working with the bank to be set up for a  Equity loan or revolving line of credit line for a down payment on my next purchase.My target area is Southern Maine within 20 minutes of my home.

He is just some weird spectator on the sidelines trying to covet somebody else's property.  

I did a three major additions (2 kitchens, apartment on accessory building, extra garage, elevator – all on my property.

The dwelling unit to be leased must be within the principal building on the propertyand not within an accessory building; and8.

Plumbing--rough in all drain lines and supply line from crawl space up to bathroom (drain PVC, supply PEX)--furnish and install--one Sterling shower pan 60" x 30"--one shower door--one Kohler Cimarron elongated comfort height toilet--one Kohler Pedestal Sink--one Kohler recessed medicine cabinet--one Moen sink faucet--one Moen single handle shower faucet--Accessories:--one Moen towel ring and towel bar--one Linen Cabinet over toilet6.Trim--furnish and install 2 1/4" colonial door and window trim--furnish and install 5 1/2" colonial baseboard7.

Additionally, most building and zoning debts will not allow an RV to serves as an "Accessory Dwelling Unit" (ADU).

Provo may allow you to rent out the accessory unit while you are living there, but you may not be able to rent out both units as a non-occupant owner.Check with the city on this and make sure it fits your strategy.Also, can't you recapture some of the utility costs from your tenants?

I am based in the Columbia, SC area and wanted to see what SM marketing methods seem to be working best for individuals finding the coveted "motivated seller" leads.
