On a house that rents $575 or even under $1000 you really cant turn a profit while keeping it fully up to date on maintenance/safe.

I understand the competition is hot in Florida and multi families are priced really high right now.I check the online sites regularly and find duplexes listed for ~200k but they're usually already remodeled, so I assume there's a deal or two somewhere..I should add that I'll be using FHA financing so maybe fixer duplex is the wrong description, dated perhaps, so I could still use the FHA loan if that makes sense.

Probably my age showing, at 56 I would likely keep the $800 month knowing that at a later date I would still have that equity and be able to sell for something similar (while there are ups and downs I choose not to sell when the market is horrible).

I had a concrete edging project lined up since June with September start date.

Or what dictates what date you choose within that window? 

But again it's best to just call and ask to get the most up-to-date information from the horse's mouth.
