I've found that duplexes in LA tend to be priced more like single family homes than income properties.

Or about $200-225 per fixture.Typical cost for the same think in Milwaukee tended to be about $4000-6000. 

I tend to avoid real estate agents as much as possible, as I purchase property directly from its owners in cash transactions, doing my own due diligence. 

That size of house would dictate a family would tend to live there with kids.

Kind of a simple motivational statement, but it made me realize how often I tend to think of why things won't work instead of figuring out ways to make them work.

Families want 3 bd and singles and couples tend to go for the 2 bd. 

Now that tends to strike many people as odd, but remember that most millennials don't know the first thing about even writing a check.

It's really kind of amazing how well-mannered the BP forums tend to be -- you just have to look at most internet interactions to see how quickly people can go negative -- and I think the "vote" tool helps with that.

yes , burlington , winooski, so burlington are great rental areas . i have noticed some resistance lately with all the new rentals being built , but still easy to rent ( maybe vacancy rate is 3% now ) . the new stuff being built are pretty high end and tend to be $1,400 up for 1 bedroom !

It's impossible to find good comps (they vary wildly and tend to either be foreclosures or fully renovated or much smaller)  and the home needs work (new roof, lots of cosmetic items, etc.) but nothing imminent - probably about $15k worth though.
