The house is move in ready after some repairs a family member, who currently resides near Stow has been able to contract out.  

Since I did not have scale, I did all of the property management myself (advertising vacant units, showing property to prospective tenants, minor maintenance, finding and overseeing contractors for major repairs). 

Your payment will simply be too high and your rent will not cover your mortgage payment (PI, AKA debt service) and all of your expenses (vacancy, PM, taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, and an allotment for CapEx). 

What shape is the house in and how much do you estimate it will cost to repair?

Should I tap into my IRA and take the 10k I have penalty free to use it to repair the roof .OR2.

They are small and run on batteries.

The duplex that you say needs $12k in repairs to get it rent ready - do you already own the duplex, or is this something you are thinking about buying?

But there are things such as minor repairs (update a pipe on a radiator etc).As for why more than 6 units a year = simply to have passive income so we can take care of our kids, my parents and leave grandkids with something.

The house needs a lot of repairs but it has great potential.

I always allocate money going towards repairs.
