If you are going to do a flip, do a live in flip with the plan of living there for 2 years to sell tax free.

My name is Ryan, and I live in a suburb on the East side of Cleveland.

Depending on the answers there will be additional questions. 

You can also bill them for the additional costs for leasing agent, listing, etc if you have any of those. 

Also, you can work in weekly or bi-weekly cleanings at an additional cost to ensure your property isn’t a disaster when you get it back.

My wife and I live in Garner.

My brother and I want to get into real estate investing for passive income, and we’re thinking about starting off with a duplex in a year or two after saving some money, that we can live in and rent other unit(s). 

I think I will budget for Sheetrock in main living areas that are most affected when putting together my offer. 

I lived in it the first 2 years then had to move for work.

I hadn’t initially factored in the additional value, as we’ve already made significant improvements and updates to the property.
