I recently went through this with a duplex I sold for an acquaintance...we finally ended up changing the locks and keeping a key to each unit...we'd give 24-hour notice for showings and inspection and try to complete when they were at work...all according to the lease terms of course.This is a tough issue in general...keep us posted how this plays out.

I would want better numbers from a duplex, seems like a lot of work for not that much return. 

In a personal example I have going now...Bought for $71k, after closing costs Rehab for $15-20kRent for $1800-$2000 (duplex)Refinance with appraisal around $115-120k I can cash-out at 75% or 80% (depending on rate I want) but 75% of $115k is $86,250

$225k for a duplex with rents of $850-950 per side?

I purchased a recently renovated duplex on the golf course in town in the fall of '16. 

We do have a ton of larger multi family units, but duplexes are scattered throughout the city and also one person can own one side while another person can own the other.

Looking at a triplex and the ad says "unit is legally a duplex". 

Water coming through the walls and cracks, through the floor, is a sign of wear and tear. 

Question I have is that I just closed on his duplex, and one of the tenants is not renewing her lease and is suppose to vacate at the end of this month.

The practice will furnish their own chairs, wall fixtures...basically providing the vanilla shell.
