When you live in that duplex for 2 years and then sell you'll be able to take 50% of the profit tax free (the allocation for the side you lived in). 

The company I currently use for my other investment homes said they don't offer management for any co living... unless everyone in the home is on one lease.

I enjoy teaching BP members how to use the system to save more money by using programs and taking advantage of loopholes.

I don't know what's going on in their lives, and usually if someone is punching up at a landlord or their representative it's because of something in their lives that they're really stressed out about.

If they're evaluating other properties and you have a good social presence that gives them peace of mind and a good sense that they'll have a nice living experience, that could be the tipping point if they're considering a similar property. 

I'd level up with a BRRRR, live-in flip, or house-hack before jumping into a challenging renovation.

If you plan to buy in your hometown, buy a 2-4 unit, and live in one of the units.

I get the feeling you don't enjoy being a landlord, so I agree that you should consider selling and investing in something that doesn't include tenants and toilets.

Now, are you planning to house-hack and live in one unit, or going full rental?

I live in Fl. where insurance is pretty costly but I am also investing in states where insurance seems less expensive.
