With a WordPress site, you own the hosting and most of the content you just use their CMS (Content management system).This allows you to be a bit more flexible with the places you host and how exactly you market you site, unlike the sites like Wix or SquareSpace.WordPress also makes it extremely easy to manage any leads, integrate new plug ins and really add valuable features to your site.Here is an example of breakdown costs:Wordpress Theme: $5-$50 (One time)Hosting from HostGator: $5-10/moDomain name - Namecheap: $14/yrCustom email address - Google Apps; $5/mo.MailChimp - to collect the emails and allow you to send out emails to a mass audience: $10/mo. or FREEYou of course don't have to do everything here, but it's a good example of the costs.

Do not cut any corners to make something look better.Always do the math analysis and try to look at the prospective properties before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that will allow you the time (about15 days) to make a detailed inspection of the property and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt you too much.

The rent on the other side of the duplex covers expenses and will allow us to live almost rent and mortgage free.

Since you allow yourself 30-45 days to find a buyer if you cant find a buyer within that timeframe, you can walk away from the deal.
