Hello Sean, It can be very difficult to monitor lawn care and snow removal at a duplex when the tenants are responsible for it, typically landlords provide it + water and the rental rate can reflect that.

The pipes in the house are relatively old and the house was winterized and thankfully there have been some very minor but fixable leaks, however, the radiators look like water has come out of them I cannot tell if they are in good shape and the technician said the only way to know is when you hook up the boiler.

Hi all, I'm considering purchasing my first property and am having trouble deciding (a) which type of property to buy (i.e. owner occupied, investment, or both by way of a duplex) and (b) what kind of split between do...

Definitely plenty of those.I'm looking for something in 60-120k range depending on how much work it needs, if anyone sees something interesting! 

The current value of the home is listed at around 114-116k range.

I know if I have 100K to invest, with commercial lending I can go after something in the 400K range. 

I understand the HOA covers the exterior parts of the property but you are responsible for anything inside your unit such as windows, bath n kitchen plumbing issues, furnace, hot water heater, etc.

The 8-9 cap range seems to be in questionable areas and somewhat dumpy properties.

I’m getting some replies from contractors saying costs per sqft range from $200-$300... compared to what I leaned from other states, that’s a huge difference... so, I know costs for everything in the Bay Area are higher than any other place, but I’d like know if that’s accurate...Thanks

And hard money in the 7% - 8% range do exist, but they're only available to those with good experience and credit.
