Just a few thoughts: - Get a thorough inspection- Get 3-5 estimates from GCs- Pick the right ‘genre’ of GC (fourplex and smaller usually falls under midsize or smaller GCs) - Always check license numbers and if you’re repairs or more than $25k, request references/info for 3 past similar projects with pictures or check social media and reviews - Get a service agreement in place before finalizing your deal and make sure the estimates cover everything in your inspection report and nothing is overlooked so there’s not as much unexpected cost that pops up.

@Justin BoydYou are eligible to exclude $250,000 of gain(if not married) for the unit that you lived in.You will be responsible for reporting the gain as a result of the other unit that was sold.The math is a little bit easier if both duplexes are equal in size.You may be able to defer the tax on the rental side via 1031 exchange/QOF.
