The kitchen and bathroom was horrible. 

If so I would do 1 schedule E and you'll essentially treat it like 6 units. 

If you find out they're cramming potato peels into a kitchen sink or the bathroom drain is full of Q-tips, then you would pass the charge on to your plumber.

All units are cleaned well and some updates have been made to paint, flooring, bathroom fixtures, and 4 new windows.Here are the negatives: No central heating or air, built in 1946, the duplex is metered together & costs approximately $150 per month, there are small waves in the flooring in 1 of the bedrooms, no stove or other appliances yet added.My thoughts: Some of the numbers seem too good to be true but at the same time I can't help but see big rehab numbers if I need to get HVAC and ducts installed (this makes me the most nervous).

Do I need to have any essentials things prepared before I talk to them to make the process easier for them?

Some bathrooms get tile.

I rehabbed two of the units, with hardwood looking tile and new bathrooms.

The ultimate goals I have in mind are essentially financial freedom (to keep it fairly broad), but I would eventually like to build a legacy through real estate that survives me.I look forward to working with you all throughout this journey, and hope that I can be as much help to you as you have been to me!

I had reached out to a previous customer of mine that I did a kitchen and bathroom remodel for and asked him if he was interested in investing.

Getting your mindset right, setting goals, and creating a strategy are essential first steps to investing in real estate.
