After some investigation, I have discovered a program that will lend property owners up to $25,000 at 0% over 7 years to convert to natural gas.

But I'm under the impression that duplexes tend to be a tad bit easier to qualify for due to incorporating the rental properties income (or half of it anyhow)

You will likely have to do some things you are not really comfortable with (evicting tenants during the holidays, evicting people with small children, etc) but that is the nature of the business.

I have excellent knowledge but putting it in a writers style that some do is not my thing as much and doesn't come as natural for me then being on the forums does.

Landlord may enter the Leased Premises without prior noted in the event of an emergency such as, but not limited to the following: Fire, flooding, frozen water lines, natural disaster, or if, in Landlord’s reasonable estimation, a hazard involving life, health or safety exists or if the Leased Premises appear to have been abandoned by Tenant.

It's currently renting at 1100/month, but I fIgure with extremely low rental availability and being right next to a military base, I should be able to rent for 1200/month when I incorporate my own leases in May.

It's like a professional body builder that goes the natural route and steps on stage and places in the top 10, then does a cycle of steroids before the next contest and places higher.

Shorter term in nature, but typically yields for the note investor will be over 10%.

I determined the ARV to be around $575K, with no allowance for natural appreciation.

Angie Brown,Thomas Blue,Being incorporated will not allow you to deduct anything other than what you normally deduct; however, if you have a large profitable portfolio, you can offer any employee of the corporation some fringe benefits or pension/401k plans.Thomas, yes you can deduct those flights.Bottom line no matter what you should keeping good track of your expenses and have thorough record keeping.
