I’m looking into a market on other side of country, so the letter route seems interesting.

Byron Scott I believe GaREIA has a west side meetup in Douglasville.

One side is trashed (tenants moved out and it needs a lot of cosmetic work.. thus the motivated seller and low price) the other unit is being rented for $800/mo.Thoughts?

I've recently become interested in the Listing side and am looking for recommendations on good practical books/videos/etc to gain of bit insight.  

@Matt Said, There will be some accountant calculation needed but you should be able to pull out your original primary residence capital allocation and profit from the primary residence side tax free.The allocation for the investment side is subject to 1031 regs which are a little different. 

I am losing money, also I don’t know the condition of the place what other damages may be there, and I have a person that wants to buy the property as the market is very hot at the moment.

The city has a no more than 4 unrelated tenants muni code, but they issued a permit and tax the duplexes as 10 bedroom (5 to a side) they say that is ok because a family could live there.

@Grayson GistI added a 3rd bedroom and 2nd bath to the side of the duplex I was living in.
