Had a partner, who owned 2 duplexes and I just bought 1 from him for 140K (rents are total 1650/month), because I'd like to control the whole complex.Most are in their late 20's or early 30's.

Preferably a company that deals with Rent Control markets in B to C markets? 

That was the precise advise I was looking for.

Chris Martin I think where you differ from the OP is precisely why it makes sense for you.

Rule number 1 of landlording is that you can't control if or when the tenants pay, rule number two is that you can't control if and when they leave.Tenants are not known to be the most proactive bunch, either, so this may not be malicious. 

.), and new appliances. my estimates: 4-5kAll my estimated include parts and labor (certified and insured electrician, plumbers, painters, ... etc)Bed bugs/Pest control cost should also be added, I think.Whole apartment is about 900 square feet. 

I like the control of owning my own.

And while it can still be "a deal" at that point, as Warren Buffet says: "It is better to be approximately right than precisely wrong."

It makes good income on a dollar/hour basis, and I have incredible control of my schedule, spend time with my family, etc... but it isn't very scale-able, at least not with favorable profit margins. 

I'm looking for wording for my leases regarding pest control (specifically bed bugs).
