Especially the days when you discover that big capex like a roof being blow off (happened 2 years ago), some tweakers climbed up on the roof and gutted the A/C (did two of those in the last 12 months), an evap cooler leaked for so long that the drywall on the ceiling of the kids bedroom caved in (last year), the hot water heater blew a hose and a major leak went unnoticed for 10 hours flooding the hall, kitchen and living room (dealing with that now), the tenant smelled gas outside, the gas company came and shut off the gas because the underground pipe is corroded AND also discovered that the water heater is not venting properly so it got red tagged (just dealt with that last month) or the time the tenant "invited" a homeless guy over, he moved in, then called his other homeless buddy up and he parked his crappy RV with his entire family living in it in the driveway.

So here is my question with a young child and a dead end job ive found myself in debt with little funds to start up my real estate investing.

Cash flowing 9200 per year you make your money back in a year and a half.

Hi Amiris,Thanks for your comment.We launched like 2 weeks ago with a half A$$ed website and ZERO marketing and already recruited 7 agents.I have had VC's throwing money at me like crazy but we are looking at bootstrapping for now until we prove the concept and maybe raise money on our terms.Looking at including all of these things in our online platform:Live support, training and “How To” video’s, various marketing templates, a CRM database management software, a DIY social media account set up, a DIY personal website set up, create own Dotloop signature tool, online continual education courses and a full blown real estate library of videos, tips, webinars, courses, etc..I'm super excited about this mate and believe it to be the new revolution of real estate brokerages Thanks again

Yes, that is likely in a B or C area and being out of the area I would want help through you, with local rehab contractors and a referral to a great property management company.  

The property is a duplex, 3 bed over 3 bed and a finished basement with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Can anyone recommend a great roofer and a good general contractor that can handle windows, paint, and general carpentry?

You want to know vacancy rates, average market rents, what amenities push that number up and down and a minimum of 5 year financial projections. 

I currently have 1 single family house, 5 duplexes, and a commercial property that houses my other businesses and office.

We always send tenants a birthday card and during the holidays we send tenants 2 dinner coupons and a movie ticket and with a hand written thank you card from everyone on the staff.
