What neighborhood are you in?

It is a duplex located in a mostly single family neighborhood.

Since the property is 4 hours away, I assume you will need full property management which should be in the neighborhood of 9-10% of rental income for a property of this size. 

Kinda speaks for itself :) I just need to do a little more research on city's neighborhood since I don't have anyone there.

@Deepak Kumar Austin is a rough neighborhood.

I don't know about Greer, SC, but it can be pretty variable neighborhood to neighborhood in Chicago.

The only way that would happen is if a developer came barreling through and bought up the entire neighborhood, which is honestly too big.

Hello Marcy, I am just joined now as a newbie Deaf BiggerPockets member to learn more about landlord & rental properties and house flipping business in order to find the potential contractor and investor to help me on my dream business of a pocket neighborhood for the deaf become reality.

The ARV is 165 - 175k in a neighborhood where no properties in this price range stay on the market very long.

My partner does not think so because it is in an undesirable area, and, although property values are on the rise, this neighborhood will be the first to take the hit and go back downward when/if the market tanks again.
