I have a 4bed/3.5 bath, and the average stay is about 4 days.

They all tend to look alike and as soon as one sells out, they build another one next door or down the street. 

But any random dude off the street can call themselves a property manager in Maryland.I self manage my properties in other parts of Maryland. 

Opening a few walls, updating kitchens and baths, flooring lighting, etc.

You will need a zoning permit, possible streets approvals, utility plans, excavation plan, building permit, MEP's, then sub contractor permits for all of the MEP's.

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.

Sense check on the rents of my units: 5 BR 3 bath coach house with 1 parking spot ($2,500), 5 BR 2 bath duplex down ($2,450), 3 BR + den 1 bath unit with brand new kitchen, plus parking spot ($1,450).

Built in 1987, the building features four spacious units, each offering 1,012 square feet of living space with two bedrooms and one bath, and a cozy 506 square foot one-bedroom, one-bath unit.
