I’m starting to bang my head against the wall trying to make anything pencil not knowing exactly what the property taxes will be but figuring it is the combined rate on the tax assessor’s site multiplied by the acquisition price.

@Nghi Le I'm looking to start small maybe a duplex/fourplex for now.

It’s like a duplex but better - perfect for Airbnb!

@Aaron Hunt Originally we were trying to purchase an FHA duplex in my name and then reset our savings and purchase another in his name so that we could maximize our portfolio growth.

Hi everybody, I just got my first duplex under contract and will be financing it FHA 3.5% owner occupied, so a little good old fashioned house hacking.

I currently have a duplex in south Wichita that is doing well, and I would love to expand. 

Duplexes, triplexes going for $325K at market, I picked up at foreclosure auction for $200K.

Hey everyone,I wanted to post and see if anyone who’s more experienced than myself can help me understand rough estimates for painting, drywall repairs and cleaning costs for a rental on the west side of Cleveland.To give some general information, there’s some dry wall cracks, painting of the entire interior which is 850 square feet and deep cleaning of the entire interior since the former tenants left behind a fair amount of food and broken furniture.

When you see one rat running around there are usually lot's more in the walls you don't see. 

When I bought my duplex 3 years ago I noticed that retaining wall separating my neighbor's lot from my property was showing signs of bulging and incorrect drainage.
