Is it a straight 1.5% on the monthly rent after 5 days ($23.25)? 

I haven't sold yet, I've been analyzing property to get a head start on the 45-day timeline of identifying the potential replacement property (and because I enjoy analyzing property). 

Hi Delroy,Congrats on your 2-flat purchase—exciting times ahead!

The other way without question puts you ahead.

I wouldn't want someone to hold back, I prefer honesty and straight talk. 

After listening to hours of the different BP podcasts, I decided to just go ahead and join so I can have more community for guidance and learning and moving towards my first deal.

dont over think this its not that complicated. important issues are.1. cost of capital2. knowing what a deal is or is not.3. good reno crew or contractor  4. good agent that will tell you straight what its worth when done and what level you should rehab to.5. a market that is actually moving napkin math works  trying to drill down to decimal points does not.

The rental demand in the area has been consistent, and duplexes offer the flexibility of house hacking or scaling into multi-family investing over time.With your experience in construction and remodeling, you’re already ahead of the game—fix-and-flips or BRRRR projects in Kansas City could be a perfect fit for you. 

Howdy Alex,Welcome to Conroe and best of luck on your new journey.Wishing you success ahead!

Looking forward to the journey ahead....
