The bigger issue not touched on above is something called backup withholding.

We have had tenants that had 2 out of 4 burners not work on the stove.

You could always take the listing down for a couple of days then put it back up.

Be realistic, have a back up plan and never, never give up - stay focused and have some fun - even if you have to modify the plan along the way.

If that doesn't work, we'll have to take down the double wall on one side, put the 5/8" fire rock up between the two walls, then stand the wall back up. 

Since this would be my first duplex, and I am kind of analysis paralysis after my first flip from last year, from which my daughters and I learned a lot and we just made a little bit of money, now that my lender, my bank from more than 25 years, suggest this idea (of paying off the investing prop. with the equity) I hope they don’t back up from lending me the money.Keep you all posted about this.

Twice we have seen the property go back up for sale partially rehabbed and sold for less than what it did at auction.Stick with it and you will find that diamond in the rough.

I have spent a good amount of money just bringing the property back up to livable conditions.

Its an old 1900's house that was turned into a duplex, but we opened it back up.

I am thinking about taking it off, getting it staged, and putting it back up.
