I think you should do the work for roof first because when roof is completed so you can do any further work like window and sliding doors.

If you can compete well with the rental rates and still make the money you want to per door, why not.I agree with Brandon that duplexes aren't generally a great investment if your goal is to sell in a relatively short time... unless of course you are purchasing, and I assume refurbishing, for way under market value.

I'm a big believer in the power of leverage and will leverage the max(while still cash flowing $100-$150/door) I can right now on my investments for more rapid expansion.

Can't even tell what kind of siding, though it doesn't look horrible.If anything, I'd paint the front door and shutters (something dark) and maybe freshen up the trim...

The floorplan is 31' square, 961 square feet total with 0 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.

Start reading on topics like "driving for dollars", direct mail, networking, door knocking, ect.

Mine requires that they: give the landlord all copies of keys and opening devices (i.e. garage door remotes); completely vacate the premises and surrender property to landlord; clean and deliver premises to landlord; remove all debris; give written notice to landlord of tenant's forwarding address; etc.

.- The property is slightly outdated inside and would need cosmetic improvements to the bathroom and kitchen as well as some paint. - The roof is over 15 years old, but appears to be in good shape.

I know most BP member are painting trim white - But if I do that I will still have brown window trip and brown doors - do most of you guys replace/paint window trim and door as well?

Does 50% of gross rent pay from just P&I and then $100/door...the other 50% going towards everything else, ie- maintenance, repairs, Homeowners Insurance, Taxes, Utilities???
