I have a nice property about 5 miles from a major air force base in great schools, close to a park.  3/2/2.  

30316 is Ormwood park.

Does anyone have any wholesale deals on a duplex preferably east pointe, college park, or Hapeville?  

I just returned from Austin to visit a "Tiny House" which was really a "Park Model".

I currently live on the South Side of Chicago in Hyde Park and Owner Occupy a 3 flat.

You need to get a good handle on the real expenses including all the small stuff; insurance alone is going to eat up ~$2,000.Also, you are not cutting your NET in half, it is the GROSS that is being cut in half as ball park since we don't have actual financials.

I am focusing on counter cyclical investments like self storage and mobile home parks and investments with a "special sauce". 

B+ area, built in 2006, parking, separate utilities, has good parking spots, real hardwood floors, wash/dryer exposed in kitchen, 2br/1.5ba units, good rental history, rent is $3200 gross, but ill live in 1 unit so the gross is $2400.$270K purchase priceFHA loan3.5% down ($9,450)P&I-$1321/mo ($260K financed)INS- $100/moTAXES- $137/mo (taxes are currently $274/mo b/c its in the investment class)PMI-$187/mo (would like to own for a year and try to refinance with another bank to get a conventianal if I can get a high enough appraisal to drop PMI or lessened)TOTAL PMT-$1745/moLIVING FOR FREE!!!

I know the market is hot there but I have not had any bidding wars.. most stuff I sell before completion but offers come in a little under list routinely and we counter to list or higher if they want concessions... ( this of course is new construction infil in the 450 to 650k range there in Charleston)

She was routinely late with the rent from the old owner.
