Knowing exactly what’s happening with the duplex—rents, repairs, tenant feedback—can help you catch issues early and save time, stress, and money in the long run.

Why mention the tenant will be responsible for appliance repair above ordinary wear-and-tear?

You may be profitable, but I'd prefer to avoid the possibility of having to do unnecessary repairs or not holding my tenants accountable for damage when I know their actions might have caused any unforeseen damage. 

Hi, Jaycee The deal makes sense for me after accounting for all expenses including vacancy, cap ex, and repairs.

Power washing the exterior, repairing the driveway, and painting the front doorWhat was the outcome?

Personally I do not like providing appliances for tenants as the repairs and headaches start adding up.

I use this for tax and insurance which all properties have)Expenses (general business like admin/legal and by unit for repairs, trash, utilities...)EBITDA (earnings before interest/taxes/depreciation/amortization.

During times of uncertainty, lenders stop lending, or they increase underwriting requirements, or the property hasn't gotten to the "repair & rehab phase" and isn't "lendable" and so on and the DOS is called.

You don't want negative feedback on your review.I don't like to make repairs.
