So - let me get this straight.You want someone who spent a lot of money, time, and effort to get and maintain a state license (One which requires a a lot of ongoing expense for insurance and other things) to put his name on work being done by people he doesn't know and has no experience with?

With that being said, there also very reputable wholesalers out there and are certainly a valuable source of ongoing deals to rehab.

With the amount of time, energy and ongoing costs/education required to get and stay licensed, it doesn't seem like it would be worth it, unless you decide you'll fully utilize it.

[Of course, I don't know how this SFR one compares to the Duplex under consideration].There are lots of threads about how common ~$30k houses are in OH, and how HARD it is to make money from them on an ongoing basis.

We have a tenant who occasionally falls behind by a few weeks because of ongoing medical issues with her son, but we know she's good for it and eventually catches up.

If the proforma is correct, and it seems to be (I need 1% per month in rent in my area to get about $100/door) you are spending money, great effort and ongoing headaches with tenants to lose money!  

We use a great property management firm that handles all of the day-to-day including finding tenants, ongoing management, repairs, etc. 

Monthly rents: 1200 per side, total rent $2400Tenants pay all utilities$1032/month for mortgage/taxes/insurace (30 yr fixed at 3.99%)After factoring in 10% vacancy and 5% for ongoing maintenance, I'm lookingCash flow of $620 x 12= 7440. 7440/52,725= 14.1% ROI.

I would love to keep an ongoing conversation and speak to someone about what's working well vs. what's not.

Most offer both leasing and ongoing management services.To start one from scratch would be difficult, but not impossible.
