Purchase price: $312,000 Duplex located in a popular older neighborhood near University, Med School, Hospitals, Shopping & Dining District.

Not sure of your floor plan, but if you can add a bedroom that can be an easy way to increase rental value if you just close off a dining room or family room, it also must have a fire egress to the outside to be considered a bedroom.  

Do a 1031 and move the profits to another one, doing the same thing all over again.For 15 years, I've never had a late payment, never had the guy change his oil from his Harley on my Dining room carpet, etc.Lease/option----from the seller's/owner's perspective, is the best thing going.

The city’s Corktown district has become a dining destination, with Slows BBQ, Astro Coffee, Mercury Bar, and Green Dot Stables.

My hesitation is it's on a busy street and the dining room in the main house has a sloping floor.

Small dining and living room with a lot of counter space in the kitchen.

There's not enough room for those nice dining amenities either.

I started rehabbing (removed trim around windows and base boards in living/dining room because they had been sprayed with texture, kitchen cabinets being torn out, doors taken off, walls were being skim coated, etc.), so with the exception of the loft area where my bedroom is, the place was a total mess.

This could have very easily been converted into a duplex, but my client chose to create a formal dining room and use the other space as a family room / wet bar.

This is just for the living, dining, hallway and a bonus front room.
