Kudos to you for sharing the wealth on the other duplex on the market near your buy - lots of folks here looking for similar deals and your story could be just the motivation to push someone across the line. 

Near The Woodlands and growing very fast!

@Mike Verna  Considering rates are probably only going up in the near future, I would consider locking in the lower cost financing now for the long term with the last 5 conventional loans.

Hello:We are closing on a 3/3 condo near Walt Disney World on 8/24/18.  

The wood used today is not nearly as dense and resistant to termites and rot.

Near home, Midwest, Deep South?

I am constantly reallocating resources . 

I currently own two self-storage facilities (and soon to be three, this month) and hopefully there will be a small mobile home park in the very near future.

But once the owner occupied house is rented out either as 2 to 3 units the income will jump to $8,399 (2 units rented)- $10,399(all units rented).Also this is an great area located near a hospital and college.
