@Michael Pison if you include a mortgaged duplex and a paid off house you should see a very healthy profit, however if you are just looking at the duplex you'll likely only see reduced living expenses.

Stay safe and stay healthy!  

It is difficult for me, however, to understand her claims that her health is being adversely affected by living in a home that I know was clean and ready for a new tenant and I never was informed otherwise.I don't want to keep her as a tenant if she proves to be a difficult tenant. 

I hope to get an ARV in the upper mid 200's when it is done and pull out the majority of my cash while still getting healthy cash flow.

There is slight efflorescence (white powder) on the soil, whichindicates that this occurred at some point in the past, and most likely not recently.

The soft soil, hard water and constant AC use by most Texans create a lot of maintenance issues.

Hope everyone is staying healthy and safe.

Even if we are very healthy most of our life, eventually all of us get old and at some point may not be able to work.
