It's better to learn what you have until you gain some experience and enough rentals to justify paying for a system.

It's been really valuable, and I appreciate your time.After the options and considerations, we settled (amicably) on the tenants paying for the replacement door glass panel, and my handyman installing it.I love the measured responses here.  

I have a tax/capital gains/ insurance settlement question:I bought a duplex 3.5 years ago with a conventional mortgage.

I would love to hear some war stories, as any positive feedback, lessons i can gain from others would be truly valuable to my upcoming journey. 

We lived in it from 2009-2015, and have been renting it out the past 2 1/2 years - so we won't have to pay capital gains tax on the sale - since we pass the 2/5 year test and the $500K exclusion test. 

Just got a question about what the capital gains tax rate is on selling investment property is these days?

I’m not urged to sell, but as an investor, realistically, I would sell if I can find a good deal to avoid cap gain tax and better investment properties.

I will be closing on my first deal in two weeks and plan to house hack a duplex in Wichita, Kansas to gain experience as a landlord while living for free.

If I get any valuable insights, I will share them.
