The room has brick flooring and stone walls.

.- Built two walls/doors separating first floor from second floor and installed a washer/dryer in one of the third floor bedrooms during renovations. - Roommate rents out bottom floor while I live on the top two floors.- The ROI on house hack reno is 100% (will recoup all costs within the first year)- Concerned that this semi-split set up  may not be very appealing to future renters once I move out in 5-6yrs and rent it out- It looks fine cosmetically but closing off these levels makes the house feel somewhat less open.- Located in suburban area.Tearing down two walls and removing the upstairs w/d would not be very expensive so if it would be worth it to do this prior to moving out, it is something I would consider.

I found this Duplex in Phoenix AZ and based on my initial calculations the cash-flow + cash/cash NOI appears to be really good.

I have a client I represent here wanting to sell his Duplex in Junction City Kansas just outside of Fort Riley.

I'm having abnormally high water/sewer bills for my duplex in Parma, Ohio.

Used to be (and in some blocks still is) a run-down, drug infested mess.But there are signs of life, too--REAL art wall murals have replaced the typical gang graffiti; specialty coffee shops open next to bodegas, art galleries opening, and blocks and blocks of beautiful brownstone buildings. 

My last rental was my best purchase, $1400 per month income from a duplex, $550 per month mortgage.
