I like duplexes as well, yet part of the puzzle is incorporating the 3 affordable housing units (2 bedroom).

Well, several months ago I joined a brokerage and naturally I want to comply with their ways of operating and generating business.

I am doing this completely remotely, which has been a massive pain/lesson learned (topic for another day).I signed a very high-level agreement (i.e. expectations simply say "drywall and paint") with him for drywall and paint work at my home for a total of $10KI have paid $5K as a down payment as well as ~$2K in materials over time, as neededThere have been multiple break-in's in the home, and he has done me favors of working with the police, and boarding things up.

I agree as well.
