They definitely had it overpriced, not cleaned up, bad photos, and no staging plus they listed it in winter lol. 

Answering this question will help you hone in on the best property type that meets your investment goals and personal living arrangement preference -- duplex, tri or even  a SFH w/ guest house or in-law suite.If you are looking to put together a good strategy, a good way to get there is by defining the criteria you have for an investment property.

One thing that has seemed to work better has been a 2 stage heating system.

I have a clause in my leases that says that I charge $X for my time to arrange for repairs and that I am reimbursed when I do a repair myself for my time if it is tenant caused damage. 

It's like staging a house...you want more people to come to your open house, make it easy for them to picture what the house looks like!

It's too small to make it into a duplex.I know that there are small families and couples that might want an arrangement like this, but I'm wondering about other peoples' experiences with pairing together roommates who don't know each other.

Co-op boards are made up of shareholders (that what the owners are referred to), and they make sure your financials are in order and you're not a shithead - so you're unlikely to to be foreclosed upon - and thus the maintenance is paid and you're contributing to the building.It's a really wonderful living arrangement for your primary residence or pied a terre in NYC. 

I found my coaching through Jason Drees Coaching, and although I joined in its infancy stages, and was one of the OG's in the mindset academy I have stuck with it week after week simply because the community and the other like minded people in that group are more valuable to my mindset and my problem solving than even the coaches.  

I am going to take it to the "Pro" who arranged the Sale of my four Commercial lots in South Tampa and see if I can get a Finder's Fee if he will be able to do a Deal.

I've been trolling this site for some time and I am in the planning stages to start a towing business in the greater Cleveland (Ohio) area.
