However, one could rehab nicely since it's area is being gentrified pretty rapidly and it's a cute older duplex... hmmmm...Will definitely be running some numbers.I would advise exploring ductless split systems too but don't automatically rule out running regular ductwork.

Instead of having to split my income to make regular mortgage payments (paying my personal off slower) and set money aside for deals, I can put all my income (and potential future proceeds) into my home which allows me to recycle that money relatively easily without having to refi over and over or find private money to keep the cycle going.

I regularly have had situations where one person moves out in my campus rentals of 4+ people.

We both have regular full time jobs.

Even a $50,000 home needs a new boiler, roof, water hear, and to repair regular wear and tear.

I used to live in an apartment downtown MKE and we regularly would see 15 month leases.

Property details:1905 E Adams Ave, Orange, CA 92867Purchase price is $839,500 - Regular 20% down over 30 years 5% interestAVG closing cost $5,000ARV $839,500Repair cost 50,000 - Property looks in decent condition but i just wanted to factor in some repair cost plus Yard need TLC. 

My relative decided to take some action and help promote the block to help sell their own property.

Sellers contract is going to promote mine....why.....because she/he will make more money all $6000, not $3000.  

It can be tempting to try to use cheaper dollar-store "blue tape" for this, or an old role of regular masking tape, or something else.
