Two owners with identical properties can have wildly different returns that have everything to do with their own management skills/style, and nothing to do with the property itself.

A lady I work with has a 21 year old daughter who wants to rent it, along with her 23 year old brother.

Everyone in the building office from the lead folks to the ladies behind the counter all know my property for one reason or another. 

wow your numbers are pretty wild here.were are you going to get a non owner occ loan for 3.8% ? 

He said the lady contacted him eventually wanting to sell.

She’s an amazing lady and I want to help her get the money she deserves from this duplex (it’s worth ~$1.5M in Newport Beach,CA) but never deal with being a landlord again.

We found our first deal in Montgomery from me driving for dollars, I was able to find 1 deal after probably 100 no's but this lady inherited this property from her dad, she was out of state and was paying property taxes so she had motivation.

At your age it’s wildly inexpensive to get a permanent policy and pay it off early.

Savage would be a good middle ground - maybe Buffalo Wild Wings on 42.

Since she was literally a little old lady, I decided I definitely did not want to go into a courtroom against her :)I guess in your circumstance I'd probably just try to emphasize to the seller that you're a known quantity.
