The second unit we replaced the kitchen, one bath was previously remodeled and the other remains in upgraded condition.

In general I would say that if you are comfortable with bookkeeping, do a good job screening, you have a property in good condition, and you take the time to properly educate your tenant on communication and maintenance procedures, expectations of both parties, and responsibilities, you'll have no problem self managing 1 duplex on your own with very little time dedication.Typically you will probably spend 15-20 min a month on bookkeeping and entering transactions, and that is about it.

If it's the latter, in the mid 90's there were a gazillion homes that used wood product siding that was problematic to the point that there were class action lawsuits concerning it and many homes were resided under conditions of the settlement.

Overall the house is in good condition just looking for opinions as a new landlord , thanks in advanced .

Most deals will not be found on a home in move in condition.

Over the the episodes from the past two weeks, David from the BiggerPockets podcast has brought up that real estate will be harder and harder to from the "small guy" to get into each year due to factors like: inflation, hedge funds being hyperactive in the market, the lack of supply and high demand causing an increasingly competitive market, real estate being a more attractive investment for our current economic condition, etc... 

@Clare YuritchI have a seventy-year-old-plus boiler in excellent operating condition at one of my properties. $6K to replace a boiler of any size is CHEAP.

However the building has very good structural bones, and the boiler system, fire suppression, and elevators are all in surprisingly seemly good condition.  

@Brandon GamblinHi,Fix and Flip properties are more difficult to finance due to the condition of the properties.

@Zachary Scott IMO, I believe this could be pretty subjective but I think it would depend on your comfort level and risk avoidance regarding certain things, e.g. rancher on a waterfront lagoon in terms of flooding issues, age of the home and potential termite issues resulting in structural damage, roof condition and what could be underneath of it from leaks.
