Mindset is a huge factor in this game.

The federal government along with local municipalities are always going to want to see a fair run game.

Let them have some skin in the game too and help oversee the property.

@Brian BoydThis might be the best game in town.Good job dude.

Here's the really powerful end game - If you stay in that duplex for at least two years of the 5 year period immediately prior to selling it you will get to take the first $250K of profit ($500K if married) from the primary residence side tax free. 

They're not a magic bullet, and of sharply limited utility outside a care facility.For construction work, we should leave off the disposable convenience respirators and go buy a 3M reusable rig with bayonet connections.

I suggest having at least a little skin in the game... unless it's just an amazing deal. 

I took a pay cut with my company to keep it afloat, play the long-term game, and to stay with the company/help it grow, so I have been strapped with cash.How should I responsibly handle this 1k/month once we move in?

Me personally, I'm in the buy and hold game.
