I guess to bottom line it, I'm trying to quantify assuming this duplex can't get bought at a discount, how does that compare to the value of money I'm already paying out going directly to pay down my mortgage.Hope that makes sense, kind of personal, but trying to look at it pretty quantitatively. 

The top unit is about 150 sq ft larger than the bottom unit.Thanks in advance.

If they stay, you are now at the bottom of the range for market rent, with no rehab cost. if they leave, you rehab and re-rent at 1550.

He said he's not aware of my needing to be licensed to own notes in Kentucky.Half of the people in any profession, including attorneys are in the bottom 50% of that profession, so if you can give me case law or a statute which says I need fit the criteria you stated, I'll thank you for your help.

I love real estate for several reasons but the bottom line is financial freedom and wealth building that I can teach my kids.

All the seller will care about is the bottom line,  if you increase the offer price but get the full4%, the increase in CoC return will likely outweigh the marginally higher payment. 

The better play may be to find companies tied to housing, with low or no dividends, that are currently victims of other factors, such as the threat of tariffs/trade war and how that alone would impact their bottom line. 

@Lei L.Hi Lei,A (2 inch) red ball sticker on the bottom of the entry door for each dog.A (2 inch) blue ball sticker on the bottom of the entry door for each cat.That way maintenance knows what they are up against, and not to leave the door blocked open allowing the pets to escape.It can also help the Fire Department (if you let them know what the colors mean).Good Luck!

Whether for sale or rent, when you turn a tumbledown listing around, it benefits your bottom line.Don’t let real estate flipping just be something you watch on TV; invest and enjoy the profits!

That is where the rubber hits the road, someone not letting you quit when you want to or are considering it.
