Can anyone give me some advice, steps I may be missing to make a confident decision on making my first deal? 

New CPA time is a great time to reassess goals and opportunities and find out if you missed anything  

Maybe I am missing something.

You miss out on appreciation on rents and property values if you sell and put the money into your current duplex.Hope this helps!

Newly created companies after January 1, 2024, must register within 90 days.There are significant penalties for missing filing deadlines.

Hi all,I have a few long-term rentals and am exploring a STR for the first time, and am seeking guidance / advice on my expected expenses (and ideally what i'm missing that i should factor into my calculations).

They miss to pay the small interest amount as of now.

It was my first time stepping through the motions of a property auction and it was still a great learning experience, despite missing a technical deadline and not being able to bid on any properties.I am now in the process of closing on a FSBO listed duplex that's a better deal in comparison to most of the properties that sold in the area during the auction, so it all worked out in the end.

There seems to be information missing - why not get it from a traditional lender?

No drinks or cookies :) but you can walk through talk to the agent etc.. very civilized .. this will create max bids at the sale no doubt when its that easy for buyers ..
