I am evaluating a Duplex in a semi-rural area in northern Michigan (about 30mins SW of Traverse City).

This assumes you do a semi decent job screenibg tenanrs in fed hill. 

Continue to raise rents on an annual or semi-annual basis.Good luck.

For instance, maybe my girlfriends father would be able to semi help out if there was an issue or a repair that needed onsite supervision and I couldn't make it down there.One thing I'll say is $1500 rental income on a $1250 mortgage will most definitely leave you negative in the cash flow column at the end of the day when factoring in all the other expenses.

@Enrico Angella Roofstock is a semi-turnkey investment because you can explore out of state and the properties are already tenanted so you only have to figure out the financing and property management 

I’m in COLORADO I have a semi large lot (17 acres) under contract in the center of a popular neighborhood that I planned to subdivide into a development.

Through my research I’ve found that most PM companies do these inspections whether it be annually, semi-annually, quarterly, or seasonally.

She has a great bunch of millennial tenants some of who are working from home so enjoy the semi-rural quiet & extra space.

So, they make some up-front fee at closing or soon after closing the refinance loan, sell the loan ASAP* to a (semi)governmental entity, and rinse and repeat. 

MartelThose numbers are semi-accurate with a 20% down.
