@Dennis M. It is a nice neighbor hood, an elementary school is right across the street and its two minute from the back gate of the Army Post. We're suppose to be getting natural gas, but no one knows when for sure. That would help drop some expenses.

I bought my first home at 21, and I bought a small duplex. This break down shows the stats of when I bought it, not the current blance of what I owe now. Now I live in a large SFH with my family and we rent this one out. It doesn't make much as you can see. The thing that drags it down is the oil expenses for heating it. I would like to start investing in properties out side of my current state (Alaksa) where its cheaper to both purchase and run a home. Would you sell this house and use the equity to start investing somewhere else? I figure if I sold it now I could probably clear 60k+ easy. Multi family homes are desired right now because of a new squadron of F-35s coming. My hesitation is mostly sentimental and it's a great rental. It has never been vacant for more then a month or two. What do you guys think?

@Dan Barli I will do that! Guess I'm still learning how use this tool to its fullest. Thank you.

My husband and I are looking to invest in multifamily homes in Chicago. I would like a recommendation on a good realtor that will help us through the process. Some one who is patient and will help us through our first investment purchase. We currently live in Alaska so this will be a long distance relationship until we move.
