So if I send a contractor she wont open the door probably.She was not loosing her house.

You need at least 3-4 strong economic drivers as well.

@Jamell Isiah hammock if the property is occupied just go up and knock on the door.

The person who sold us our current duplex also owns the one next door and has expressed interest in selling it to us. 

I would really need some guide for steps i need to do or to expect when approaching a investment property and closing it down.

(This is what the wife wants to do). Or

It might also open doors for positions requiring a college degree of any sort.When I left the engineering field for business, for example, I had the education and experience needed to take the exam for the professional engineering license.

Only once I let Tenants Rent month-by-month because they were buying a house but their rent was +$100 to their usual lease.The lease has 2-mo early termination fees in the first year and one month - second year of lease.Yes, I do get these fees sometimes but more important I get Tenants to show the property when they are still live their: because they are motivated to not pay the fees, their place is always in Showing condition.Month-by-month is the worst thing for me as landlord: I'm renting my properties for the top market price and don't want to compete with $675/mo when renting next door for $825.Stable tenants are my way of doing business.

Especially if you could get that tiny bit extra out of the garage in the back and bring your monthly cash flow closer to $200 a door. 

I can tell you that the house next door which is 1930's vintage and is a big old farm house with 4 bedrooms and a couple bathrooms and had a oil boiler with radiators was just retrofitted with a gas furnace and vents run throughout the home so they can also add central air and they were quoted $24,000 by a local HVAC company.
