Can I do it as an investment property first and move into it at a later date?     

That's not exactly an up and coming area -- I'd research who built them - can likely find that by going to the SG County Recorded Docs site or by seeing who pulled the permits during const -- Wichita has been on a duplex building boom -- look at the tax value -- They probably have that or less in it on the build - I also doubt they were built to be quality long term -- things such as the trim/cabinets etc -- they all look like the cheapest stuff a guy could buy - if the cabinets aren't oak and there is MDF or pine trim and pre-hung doors with engineered wood jams I'd run.  2-3 yrs ago for $180k -205 or so you could buy duplexes in Maize, Kechi, Valley center all day to builders that were selling them off to investors - not worth that in that area.

Date: 01/20/2025My fiancé and I are moving to a new area and have decided to rent a place.

However, on my back burner is a direct booking site and I'm leaning toward OwnerRez (once I get through Ski Season).

There are obviously a lot of variables that come into play.I'm looking at developing a small 2 acre property that has already been engineered for septic and platted for 8 mobile homes. 2 MH are already on site with all utilities present, but for the 6 MH remaining that I want to put on site, the land still has to be developed.

I wanted to begin the eviction process ASAP but don't want to wait a month for a court date and find out that it was done incorrectly. thanks for any input

Keep track of every property--the address, purchase price/date, sale price/date, profit, rent at purchase, rent at sale, cost to renovate, take before and after pictures. 

The agent was getting pushed pretty hard by his brokerage to get this signed before putting in an offer, so I caved, but limited the date. 

If it has significantly deteriorated, accelerate her move out date.

Check "flexible" dates for a house with a pool to weed out the condos with shared pools.
