For whatever reason it seems to attract people’s attention when looking at listing. oIf the budget allows, paint the exterior a dark gray/black.

Quote from @Myrtle Mike Thompson: @Palmer Thomas I don't believe $135k is realistic. 

My CPA is telling me that because this is a duplex, it might be "aggressive" to file half of the property as a STR and the other half as a LTR and I could be targeted for an audit since this is a gray area of the tax code.

On the other hand, NOI and Cap Rate become extremely important because that determines value and to a large extent, the size of the loan you can get.The only point where this becomes a gray area is if you were to combine multiple contiguous properties and run them as an apartment. 

Appreciate your insight @Spencer Gray

Listen to the investors with gray hair and you'll hear that they were successful because they studied the market and saw a great deal before anyone else did.

Hi , my name is LaSheka Thompson .

I had a house with wood windows painted charcoal gray and the sun was not kind to those windows.

@David Thompson would that be an accurate statement?

I will echo @Robert O'Keefe and say that management will give you a crash course to be able to transition into other things much easier than going in cold- but prepare to get some gray hairs and some 2AM phone calls.
