I purchased a duplex in May of this year and moved into the bottom unit with the intention of renting the top unit as well as the sf I moved out of which would put me in positive cashflow (the top unit of the duplex does not cover the duplex mortgage entirely on its own). 

That is $500 easy savings by shopping around, but make sure you are adequately covered. 

ADR has to be high to cover expenses.  

I’m done with dead beats who give me lame excuses all the time why they don’t have rent or have ever had any emergency money to covered the unexpected things that we all encounter every month.  

I love to learn and love to teach so if anyone needs help in this area I have you covered.  

So if you intrested my book is on amazon as ebook, paper or hard cover just search Realaxed Real Estate Investing and enjoy

Will that cover you financially?

To be fair, some of those issues may not be covered such as contractor's cheating you and I have never seen a pipe burst cause a total loss.

Your construction background covers much.

So at a  minimum you need to be firm that the rent is enough to cover your expenses (including insurance, PM fee, capital reserves for repairs)I'd go on Facebook Marketplace and on any Facebook Groups you find for KSU Housing and post it there (at a rent rate this is actually covering your expenses) and see if you get response.
