I fixed it nights and weekends and made it pretty nice.

Nice to meet both of you!

@Ollie Gray IV,Welcome to the Best Real Estate Site on the Net.It is always nice to see another Ct., resident in the forums.Click on the "learn tab" at the top of this page, and you could be spending many hours on the Information that is available.Raymond

Myself and fellow BP member Mike Walker thought it would be nice to have a opportunity to meet and network in the South Austin area.

It never made sense to me to go after a deal where the margins are that tight - seems like high risk / low reward... nice to get some reaffirmation.

I have the exact same question, and nice to see brilliant minds think alike @Joe Fairless ;)

Good stuff, So what I am thinking is using cash for my initial purchase for myself...hoping for a nice duplex.

Interesting side notes-1) the two current tenants are longterm 4+ years, but are also not clean and tidy at all.2) there are several very nice houses in this neighborhood, but the one next door is condemned (in tax default), and a house a couple blocks over has been destroyed completely by fire.3) Comps of SF and MF homes are all over the place in the area and it's pretty much impossible to get comps on this type of unit even going back 2 years.Any suggestions on how I should factor the current tenants, neighborhood, comps or empty unit potential???

As a current member of CFRI it is nice to see familiar faces here.

Nice to see another Michigan investor.
