There is a duplex new build and their agent told me this.

"expect my insurance goes up', 'hope the property value will increase', 'hoping for fewer problems', A business is not build on hopes and expecting.Build a budget, is the expected return more than your required return?

Unfortunately, if it needs septic and there isn't enough room for a leach field, you won't be able to build a home on it.

The budget for closing presents can differ, depending on the broker's budget, client tastes, local practices, branding, and timing of presentation.

You will build skills and experience in acquiring and managing the duplexes that will help you with real estate projects large and small. 

With that said, these are excellent products and ones that will be of great benefit in building your real estate portfolio. 

Hey all, I have several off-market deals (various cities) and am looking to build out a larger network of buyers.

My CoC return in STL is 10% now that the buildings have stabilized, it seems like the buildings are appreciating at an acceptable rate, and I have a team that I trust there (realtor, PM, contractor, lender). 

I need help deciding if I should keep my primary residence and rent it out or sell it and then move into a new one, I have already done a cash out refi of 60k if we rent it we would get 150-250/ month profit not counting cap ex and if we sold we could get 5k-20k property is worth 250-280 ARV , the property has brand new roof hvac and hardwood floors with in the last year or two we will also be using va loan to buy. ps my wife wants to sell and I want to rent it out 

The upside:  There is a lot of money to be made, potentially, and every door you add to your portfolio builds your company's value bigger and bigger (vs. sales, where it's a transaction and then it's over).
