Easiest one we have ever done.

I have run the numbers and it will cash flow really well, but my question is wouldn't that put a tremendous strain on me only owning half of the duplex. 

They have given up on the Columbus market and make discouraging remarks like the one you just made.I prefer to look at the glass as half full. 

She said some guy keeps trying to “buy” it with this half assed disaster of a contract.

People who currently pay ~$1,700 -2,000/month on rent can get into a multifamily property and pay almost half that amount for mortgage after collecting rental income from their tenants.

If you buy a modest home there in the Auburn area, that should leave the other half of the proceeds available for investments.

It's your typical six of one, half-dozen of the other scenario.

But if they have half of a brain, they know that there are going to be all the costs that I mentioned AND MORE; cost overruns, electric, water, taxes, bad contractors, and a few others I can't think of right now in addition to the simple %s mentionedThis is why you should never deviate from going over the 70% of ARV minus repairs AND you should do your own repair costs.

I'm still thinking on that one.Six months in, she has paid rent on time about half the time.

I have been learning the ins and outs of the business, and after working on a variety of projects for them over the last year and a half, I am starting my own real estate venture.
