Hi all,I bought a duplex for $60k back in May with the goal being to make a cash flow stream, but since the market here is hot this year I've decided to see if I can't sell it.

My sister-in-law lives in Mass. and the apartment she was renting upstairs the people in the unit down stairs would constantly cook curry etc. and the heat and air vents were shared in the building.

PM is a tough business and they need to make a profit so they are constantly trying to minimize their time on your property.Maybe I have had bad luck but I always have found it necessary to keep an eye on the PM.

The price the landlord wants to sell at what current cap does that come out too for the income stream of the lease??

If they don't come in line you want the tenant to leave anyways as the constant headache they create will suck the life out of you on a monthly basis.

Investors are generally looking to purchases a stream of income - i.e. cash-flowing real estate and dividend stocks. 

The key thing is they are still responsible for the fee to break early (which is just the equivalent to 2 months rent if in the least and 1 month if month to month), so if they just up and left with no notice and still in the lease, it's 2 months rent + they loose the security deposit on top of that.The big reason for all this is to protect your stream of income and reduce vacancy.

When you live on site the tenants will bug you constantly.

That said, I do my best to make my ad stand out and constantly tweak the headline to keep it fresh.After 3 weeks of the usual headline (Renovated 2/2 in "Great Town", FL, All New Appliances) or similar, I decided to get creative and a little offbeat.

Since he owned several properties on which he was constantly having work done we simply agreed he would get any material surpluses to use on his rental properties.
