The old GC can pull his permit.

And even though you may roll your eyes and get tired of hearing the same old things day after day, you must remember that this is a business of people management, and you will meet many types of personalities along the way.

Also, depending on your income and debt, it may be difficult to qualify for your new purchase until you actually have someone on a lease occupying your old home.  

@Charlie Vollers , sorry, I didn't mean to put all the emphasis on scrape & build new duplexes, to be sold as "half-duplexes".A landlord that owns the full duplex (might be 50 or 100 yrs old) could divide the deeds and sell off the halves.

I'm not a handyman nor do I have any interest in that but I love the deal and analysis that comes with the world of investing and flipping.I live at home with mom and she is discontent with my career choice as I only work about 25 hours a week and not a traditional 9-5 schedule.

Side note; seattle 1 bedrooms are having dramatic increases in vacancy rates.The retail apocolypse that will kill 40 percent of that sectors square footage needs in the coming decade, no yeild in bonds, artificially cheap money(interest rates) and an old bull equities market has everybody fishing in the same shallow pond.Please keep your job until you have something SECURED.

The building is newly built from the ground up and only two years old.

The kicker is - like many 20-30 year olds, we face the evils of student loans and do not have much saved up for a down payment.

New to bigger pockets and new to the Real Estate World!

@Ben Einspahr I think every landlord new or old experiences this, and it doesn't matter what market you're in.
