The NSF fee and late fees were paid promptly but the tenant has needed more attention than my other 5 units combined.  

When I say nice, I don't necessarily mean expensive, or content rich, but something that is aesthetically pleasing and functional, and remember lots of branding.

It is a function of asset-type (commercial property) and asset value (I will establish a new LLC at about $2MM) for risk management.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Rhonda Norman MLS power is the perfect combination for your goals

I would have to think if you go through the money of making it aesthetically pleasing you also took the time to make sure all systems function properly.Sorry for the rant I can just relate to this post way too well!  

@Judah Hoover When I say duplex I mean, the total income from two units combined should be easily $1200 or more.I will have $53k in purchase.$8k in central heat and air$6k in roof and gutters$3k in windows, fencing, finishing touches.For a total if $70k in the property.

i agree.with all that has been saidBut WARNING find a brokerage that will let u function as investor the way u intended.Taking yourself out of the equation may be OK for some brokerage and not for other.SELLING my own stuff commission saving had a fine print I couldn't live with.I just made my move bc at my first brokerage I feel I can't do this, can't do that.

Too bad we can't combine all the best parts of different locations together into one.
