With your background as an electrician, contractor, and project manager, you have a unique advantage in real estate.

Phoenix is becoming a prime city for this sort of project Khaled.

Lenders can have different loan options based on the property type and the amount of rehab (if any) required for the project. 

Some other investors had purchased it to flip it and decided they had too many projects going to handle one this big.

Easiest project we have ever could do.  

My dilemma has been that I've gotten a little behind on some revolving debt that selling this property now could eliminate in addition to giving me cash on hand to trade into some better value or start a new construction duplex project I've been wanting to start.

Contractors play such a huge role in real estate projects.

If I had not been, then I would have a lot of projects only half completed and a lot of investors very angry with me. 

Starting with a single-family can be a great way to start especially if you’re looking for a lower-risk starter project where you can get your hands dirty and learn a ton by doing.

In my market every PM would charge more than your projected $350/month (which I already indicated is not reality) to manage two average size units in a duplex.This does not mean cash flow does not exist.
