As Russell said, for more expensive properties, you'll almost never get the 1% rule, unless you find a gem fixer-upper that you can get value out of.

Buying my first Duplex and I will be living in the upper unit.

I sell fixer uppers to investors and don't want to be the guy who spams on here and gets booted.  

Colour and Plants.Maybe look at window shutters on the upper level.

The reason I moved to St Pete was I purchased a 50,000+ SF warehouse to move my business and I redid the drywall, electrical (480V 3phase), and plumbing myself so that I could be operational.I am looking for fixer-uppers (residential, not commercial) in St Pete in grade A & B neighborhoods.

I'm here so I have an upper hand.  

I have done primarily buy and hold investments, some were fixer uppers but it was all mostly cosmetics.

Hi @Sterling Britt.You may send direct messages through the app but Colleague Requests are not yet available.From their profile, you should see an envelope icon in the upper right corner.

It is not an old house or a fixer upper. 

I live in Upper Arlington and FTE job in Westerville, so meeting up in the general Columbus area is pretty easy for me.
