For context, my business does about 10-12 million a year and is only in year 5 so ton of room to grow still.

We are looking to purchase a duplex in the 100-200k range and want a CoC return of around 8-12%.

The general plan is to BRRRR a duplex and rent one unit while living in the other.

I've been searching properties for a variety of ideas for almost two years now and never pulled the trigger.  

@Racheli Ta yes, one could do SMS, cold calling, etc.

WRONG.Even if a keyword consistently brings in leads—whether they are distressed sellers or retail buyers—there’s still one crucial thing you need to check at the end of the day:HOW MANY CONTRACTS DID YOU GET FROM THAT KEYWORD?

Can't speak to the organization in Michigan but generally the benefits of a well run STRA far outweigh the costs.I am a property manager in Hawaii so we are constantly being hit with new anti-STR legislation and have a large, well-funded hotel lobby to deal with constantly.

And if the yard space was part of the lease I guess it makes sense to reduce the rent a little.

I plan to follow the BRRR strategy and build a portfolio of long-term rentals.

I'm looking to purchase a 2-4 unit in northern Illinois, the Freeport area seems to have tons of affordable inventory.
