Duplexes, triplexes are not for the weak at heart..

I can't believe I'm actually devoting additional words to this inane thread, but weak, illogical arguments just beg for me to chime in!

In NNN for example a weak tenant could put out a 9 cap and sign a lease for 15 years.

:I've looked into the TK market too and IMHO its not nearly as good as advertised...... you overpay up front, often get weak if any appreciation and all that "cash flow" you got disappears when you have turnover or sell....Many TK leave off vacancy, and/or CapEx and other "details" that crush the numbers once you add them in....Just didn't appeal to me.....Agreed, i wish the returns looked better on paper.

The cashflow seems pretty weak honestly.

It wiped out people in all industries.Till later this weak with the last steps.Bob FaulisBeatTheBank

My weakness has been financing so I have been digging on here and became a member to see how to get myself to the next level, now I just have to make the leap....like I did buying my first rental.

As there is a variance in their respective strengths and weaknesses, I would need more information to asses a fit between the investor and custodian options.

I cannot overstate the importance of finding a way to build a good rapport with your tenants as early on in the acquisition process as possible, as it will minimize or prevent countless headaches further down the road.When I took over my duplex with an inherited resident in one of the units, I had this conversation with the tenant prior to closing and found out that the toilet in their bathroom was clogging once or twice a week, and their shower head water pressure was super weak. 

Depending on your goals and strengths/weaknesses, there are a thousand different directions you can go with your REI journey.
