My wife and I were high school sweet hearts and fresh out of high school we bought the house and got married afterwards.  

I'd suggest writing down checklists and guidelines to follow next time while it's still fresh on your mind.

Investors are uncovering deals every day, but every investor isn't uncovering a deal every day.

It is a desireable area... the units should be able to rent for about $650 and $750 (one has an extra room) and as fresh as it is i just dont like the $159k price point.

Honestly, with a glaring error that big, I'd be inclined to throw this paperwork away and start from scratch, fresh.

It was freshly painted, rennovated and clean.  

The dog duplex could be profitable if the market is right (pet ownership is over 50% in many areas, yet fewer places allow them)...I would either try and market the duplex as  a dog-friendly unit (with the separate yards) and give full barking disclosure and even invite the applicants to come by at various times to test the noise themselves; or (especially if my dog friendly marketing wasn't working) I would cycle the existing tenant out, remodel and go with fresh tenants of your own choosing.Best of Luck....

Are many of those homes sold in Chula Vista freshly remodeled, sold by an LLC, and purchased for all cash just a few months prior ... if so, those are flippers and it may be a good place to flip.

Fresh out of undergrad and without the prospect of a career job on the horizon, I took the plunge and moved from beautiful Reno/Tahoe to Knoxville, TN with the woman that I was dating at the time (now wife).

My second question is, how can a kid fresh out of college who comes from a family with nearly no money be able to afford some of the down payments and beginning costs of most properties?
