Tyler local, so sparked my interest whenever I see anyone post about the area.Given that your duplex is fully paid off and generating a steady cash flow of $1400 per month, it's understandable that you're having second thoughts about selling it.

It wouldn’t work in a red hot market like we had a few years ago where everything was selling super fast, but in todays market there isn’t as much urgency to see properties and get offers in immediately.  

If you live there 2 years or more before selling you will be exempt from tax on the 1st $250k in profit which is a nice bonus. 

What exactly is their, "strict tenant screening & matching process"?

At that point I realized since I have the money and I really take all the risk compared to ANY GC I am just going to control the process all the way through..

If you’re comfortable with the process and local regulations, new construction might yield higher equity, but for simplicity, an existing duplex is safer.

Buy a $15 blender at Walmart, and they'll try to sell you an extended warranty.

Why did you choose to sell the property to a wholesaler vs selling it on MLS?

@Noah Laker Your client should sell the property under her sole ownership without adding the ex-partner to the title, as this could trigger gift tax implications and complicate the process.

This California law eliminates much of the red tape by bypassing environmental reviews and subjective local approvals, creating a faster and more predictable development process.
