The triplex is much more popular with traveling work crews for specialists in the trades and insurance relocations, so if we were to do it again, I would probably worry less about making each room it's own rentable space and save a little bit of those costs. 

The rest, put you on near-worthless drip campaigns, don't understand calculating the offer price based upon rents - property taxes - insurance - MNT & Vacancy percentages, etc.DM @James Wise to schedule a chat with him!

After a $500 plumber bill I no longer wish to continue stressing out about this business; at the beginning (10 years ago) it was fun and challenging, now, after seen how we are the ogres (landlords in general), the outrageous government response with the eviction moratorium during Covid, the raise in taxes and insurance, service people who charge you more than a brain surgeon, the fact that this country is becoming dangerously socialist and the tenant drama I finally decided It is time to look elsewhere for investments.I just cannot find any information of what to do when I sell my properties.

I also have a friend that bought brand new construction, but had to shell out tens of thousands in repairs because the home wasn't built properly, the inspection didn't catch the issues, the builder didn't have a warranty on the property, and insurance didn't cover all the problems.

He isn't a motivated seller.If it will rent for $1900  a month, that means to make money you have to have a payment that includes, principal, interest, prop taxes, insurance, at less than $1400 a month. $190,000 at 3% interest is P&I $801 + prop tax plus insurance a month.

@tom shallcross summarized this well in another post and just inflate your numbers up for a $665k purchase price and $2300/mo per unit for rent.Borrow 80% which is like $3700/mo for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance.

For insurance you often have to have a certain amount of access to get to furnaces, hot water heaters, and electrical panels.

Keep in mind that I am selling them as affordable fixer uppers and usually only address any health, safety, and functionality issues.

Have you tried going directly through your insurance provider?
