Hi, 

I recently bought a duplex for $295,000 for MTR in late June. A lot of growing pains. 

I inherited an occupied unit with a renter that has not been the most cooperative. 

2nd unit has been on the market for MTR since Saturday (5 days) no hits. I’m stressing. 

I Already had to replace an entire AC unit because the seller wired the unit wrong and ran the compressor to the ground. Seller had told me he replaced the unit a year ago. Come to find out it was a 2018 unit and never registered for warranty. $6,600 later 1 new unit. 

A list of things I have already had to do to bring the place up to approximately $18,000. 

1st Property manager didn’t want to deal with the long term tenant so bailed on me. 2nd property manger has been great in managing the tenant. 

A lot of growing pains and still the in progress… 

here is the listing for your reference -

By any chance do you have a good property managers in your network for Fort Worth. Having trouble finding one for mid term rental fully furnished. 

Looking for a PM for a newly acquired duplex. 1 unit is occupied looking to furnish and do mid term rental on the 2nd unit.
