These principals are a bedrock of the community and it is the reason that BP forums remain high quality.

Contractors in Europe were blown away with the quality.

I figure even at the low end I could probably clear about 275 per month, possibly much more with a medium quality rehab. 

@Rhonda Davis OUTSTANDING!

Even if you send requests to apply some don't.To make sure you don't get into trouble (Fair Housing Laws) determine your criteria for what you are looking for in a tenant: 3x income, no evictions or no outstanding collections to landlords, no criminal cases or misdemeanor case ok, minimum credit score, etc.

Their sq ft and size/quality are comparable to the duplex. 

While each market is different, a quality rental not in a war zone will get rented.

We install custom oak kitchen cabinets with high-quality hinges and drawer rollers so when a tenant damages the cabinets we can remove the face, make new doors and drawer fronts, paint the frames and our cost never exceeds $1200. i don't know how well your cabinets will hold up or what you will do if they start to sag and fall apart.

(All rough estimates based off comparable properties in the area... and coming from a newbie, myself... so might be less.)THE ISSUEMy father owns the duplex outright with no outstanding mortgage or liens from taxes. 

I was wondering if it was good as far as investors ability to keep vacancy rates low and tenant quality high and just hold value?
