Would look to invest half and then keep the remainder to pay down the mortgage on the 250k balance quicker so I could use the equity to obtain a HELOC on the duplex and use for a future SFH purchase.My other thought would be to do a live in flip, and rent out my current residence for around $1100/month, but would have to eat the $314/month in HOA fees which would leave me with around $800/month cash flow. 

My intentions are more passive but I understand the active route is how to eat up all the experiences in the different areas.

I wouldn't have a problem staying with my current job if it didn't eat up so much of my time.

Here in Florida where I invested, the taxes eat up all profits, I was wondering if there are states that would have tax caps on income properties, not only on primary, and if yes, how do I find out?

This will likely mean that I will have to take into consideration mortgage insurance on both properties eating into my cash flow until the proper LTV can be met.

Don't eat yellow snow :)

This is still a new purchase and the deferred maintenance will eat up any cash flow for some time.

The ice melt chemicals they use up here in MA and NH just eat right through them (I'm sure it's the same in other parts of the country that have snow).
