I'm pretty sure that my tenant will complain about a 100 dollars increase but at the same time I'm loosing hundreds by not doing so.

So they are financially misaligned on long-term performance (and I think this is why there are so many people who have had bad turnkey experiences) And, as someone who has done lots of rehabs directly myself, I have seen hundreds of ways that turnkey operator could take shortcuts (to the detriment of the investor but beneficial to their bottom line) which investor could never detect (or not until years later when it's too late).

I believe the goal is to live for free and try and get get a few hundred dollars in cash flow?

Eventually I moved out of that duplex, and it cash flows a few hundred.

The only thing I could think of was that I had paid this guy hundreds of dollars for him to tell me that the right rear burner was not working.

Rents had gone up a couple of hundred dollars on each property.

that was really helpful. 1% might be a little high for the area I'm in, but it does give me some confidence in raising the rent a hundred dollars or so.

However, There are some issues that I am wondering:1) Right now I'm renting a room for couple hundreds/month of a relative, should i buy first property as SFH or Duplex?

Hi Brad, we manage over a hundred long-term and short-term (AirBnB) rentals all over the city. it very much depends on the area and the property.
