I plan on doing complete renovations of every unit, eventually replacing the rubber roof, fixing up the garage doors, fixing the window lintels, eventually re-paving the driveway, and much, much more.

Bottom line how do I manage contractors better?

I bought my first duplex 2 years ago and I currently live on the top half with two friends from college and rent out the bottom.

If I had a nickel for every time I was told "Bitcoin went down, but it hit its bottom and is going to go back up from here" I would be rich"You can't just block out a time period of the market" Why not?

There are other ways to handle the title, but the bottom line is that you should have part ownership of business assets as a business partner.

Bottom line is if I can tie this up for 1.2M i know I would be able to sell for about 1.7m+ after a few years, or should I cash out refi, what would that look like?

Purchase price: $45,000 Cash invested: $70,000 After 8 months helping the seller clear title form the probate, we purchased the property and have been conducting an extensive rehab from top to bottom.

But the bottom line is i don't believe anyone will ever get them what they are asking. 

U can hire folks  you see those rubber hoses across the road attached to a little box.. thats how they used to do it.I bet now its just a camera and wifi.. 

The 2 units on the top are residential and the 2 units on the bottom are commercial. 3 of the 4 are rented.
