@Bob Woelfel I think I left out the big idea: we will live in the other half of the duplex!!!

He seems to get half the questions here  lol

Purchase price: $141,500 Cash invested: $29,000 Single family home in West Side of Worcester, MA; conveniently located one block from Worcester State University and less than 2 miles from Worcester Regional Airport.

The building was approx. a mile straight south of Northwestern University.

I've already closed on one property and still have about half to close on another.

After reviewing the applications (and this is probably day 3 of holding the apartment for them because they said they wanted it and then it took another day and a half to turn in their application), she contacted me and said she wanted the rent prorated (I said I had no problem with that) but also that she wanted me to redraft the contracts because "[she] has an emotional support animal.

The homes will simply be older, the land obviously the same size, however the revenue may have gone down by half if you decide to sell these properties and simply collect lot rent, which may cut your gross income in half.There is definitely a lot more to consider that I am not including in this quick comment, however in my opinion this park may not be the best use of your time, energy, and capital.. at it's current price.

That is half of some people's yearly salary.

I will be living in one half of the duplex while fixing it up.

I currently have a rental that is about half way through its 2 year lease.
