@Rich Ramirez Here in the Kitchener area of Ontario the rent:value ratio is about 0.5-0.6 as well (for SFH).That's been the case for as long as I've been in the business.

The property was never vacant and the only repairs I had to do was replace the kitchen faucet and sheet rock. 

A duplex or two unit is one building with two separate living areas i.e. 2 kitchens, 2 baths two front doors.

This is good if, say, the tenant started a small kitchen fire (however unintentionally) and you want to recover the damages.Fire coverage may or may not be it's own thing, like flood insurance.

I have looked through my country tax assor to see which homes are being taxed as multi-family (whiche means they must adhere to code in my town, ie kitchen in each unit, bathroom etc).  

Your approach seems like there are too many cooks in the kitchen.

Kicker is that the basement has a fully equipped kitchen as well.  

I would love to find out if there are any investors or wholesalers in the area who are looking for condo's in Southfield, MI.Comps 2/2 bath 2,000 sq. newer roof, remodeled kitchen 2015.

I mentioned it to the realtor and she kind of brushed it off and started talking about the great upgrated kitchen worth 100k and other improvements to the house.Is this something that should be reported to someone or as a nosy neighbor just going to an open house, I should not be concerned?
