Focus on long-term guests, like corporate clients staying 30+ days, because it’s easier and brings steady income.

If you stay in Northern Minnesota you could look to locate closer to Duluth which has a large supply of duplexes at prices much below $500K.

@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.

How can a person/company do the following in 5 hours.Drive to the property.Inspect the property.Create scope of work.Send scope of work to owner for approval.Get approval for scope of work.Drive to store / supply house #1 for materials.Shop for and purchase materials at sore / supply house #1. 

or options 3, 4 and 5 don't supply washer and dryers and either the tenant provides their own, rent appliances or goes to community laundramat.

Here are a few areas I suggest you look into:-McDonough, Conyers, and South Fulton: Steady growth and aren’t oversaturated, positive demand for MFRs.

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us.. 

You may have to do this several times for all the different tasks being done.The only labor cost not covered by this type of online inquiry is drive time from the businessto the property, to the store & back for supplies and then back to the business address.

Consider Section 8 housing for steady, government-backed income.

Tyler local, so sparked my interest whenever I see anyone post about the area.Given that your duplex is fully paid off and generating a steady cash flow of $1400 per month, it's understandable that you're having second thoughts about selling it.
