I have a confession: my only duplex, which I gave owned now for 2 years and recently moved out of from a house hack, has proven to cost me more to maintain/pay taxes/repair/fix etc to the point where my cash flow is close to zero.

I bought it last year and thus far have: 1) Appealed assessed value to bring down taxes, 2) Got better (less expensive) insurance, 2) Rehabbed 3/4 units, and 3) increased rents $300-$400 per unit along the way.

I've been buried with tax preparation and a couple projects, so BP moved from the back burner to completely off the stove!

If your bottom line numbers on tax returns and W2 income are not strong however, this will be an abrupt dead end.

We have sold (tax free), kept as long term and/or short term rentals as well.

How much money, after expenses and taxes would he property make yearly?

It's almost like they tack on a few hundred dollars to the order and forget to charge sales tax

Another common practice for nationally sparse datasets such as tax data is aggregation.

so I used 1.5% as a property tax number, and I used $200 mo for insurance.

So, in your considerations, I would park right there for a bit and determine how this would look for you.Since you have about 2.5 years to think about it before you would need to spring into action to take advantage of the rollover for tax advantages, maybe you try on a rental and see how it fits.
