They pay rent before the due date, clean the property after every client, and if something breaks they usually repair it before I'm aware because their clients will give them bad ratings.

I also have a mortgage on this property paying $683 a month.Now I'm deciding should I continue waiting for a possible tenant or should I just sell the property.

I know you want to go full time and jump in, but I'd recommend staying with your day job as long as you can - it makes your life a lot more comfortable to have a steady stream of income to pay the bills every month!

Quote from @Leeling Chew: It doesn't matter who pays the bills.

After spending 16,000 he's paying 2850.

@Cole Starin sometimes it makes sense to sell the WORST property in your portfolio.Another option is why do a LOC on the duplex, when you could just do a $100k cashout refi to pay off all your debt AND keep the property?

I don't know the rules in the US, but in Canada, you can do that every 2 years and when you sell, you don't pay taxes on the capital gains.

The flipper pays 12.5% interest to the lender, and I receive 10% of that.

@Michael Daniel Ultimately, it's all about confirming what the housing authority pays.

I have found that they worked really well when it comes to getting better tenants and better rents, and having less hassle, less headaches, and then getting a higher sales price; without paying closing costs or realtor fees.
