I don't know about your state but mine (TN) has a lookup tool that will show you the agent's original license date, the brokerage incorporation date, etc. 

i understand a true duplex might be a lot more expensive, but i think it's at least worth continuing to research and keeping an eye on.and sticking to my original point, OOS can be tough. 

Property was originally listed for $1.2mm this past year they’ve done multiple price decreases to $699k.

The non-recourse lender was actually the original seller who was financing - GEG was the middleman making a HUGE markup.

I originally used liquidity from a refi, HELOC, and a personal LOC to make the purchase and then refi'd that money out after closing.

- If so, 1031 into something bigger and easier to manage and then when you pass, the inheritor receives your property(s) at a stepped up basis - subject to Inheritance Tax limits.Otherwise, sell one every 1-5 years when you need the cash, so you can plan expenses to offset capital gains.14 properties - presume these had to have been single families.Oh, I'm modifying the original post to mention leaning toward creating a trust which we manage..so we would own very little yet manage the trust which owned investments and such.Here is what I understand/misunderstand (better or worse) on moving every 2 years (as we are open to that albeit pia.) • Multi-unit would only support a %, so a quad would 25% and prorated over all years of ownership....witteling advantage to not worth the effort. • Single unit properties get pro-rated.

I was originally thinking about purchasing all four but am so glad I started small with one.

After I fill the last vacancy, the building will generate as much cash flow in one month as its predecessor would have generated in a year.There are so many other stories whose origins are with that same knock on the door, but this one's already long enough.

@Treza Edwards  your original question may answer itself when you say there is not much new construction going on. 

@Phillip Austin we've looked into these and it's our opinion they should only be used with Class A tenants, maybe Class B - deifinitely NOT Class C or D tenants.Several companies in this area will no longer allow S8 leases or tenants under 600 credit scores - because of the high number of claims & corresponding claim amounts.
