We're in the process of selling ours at the moment. We're just old & tired of dealing with them. We'll come out ok/good but not a gold mine.

I was very fortunate to buy mine in 2018. Used the tax advantages of owner-occupied and made some good money. But life is too busy, one of the tenants is a train wreck and I just dont see how duplexes and rental property can go up in value until people fan afford the rents. So im pulling the equity now in case things get worse. And wouldnt you have it, my company just laid off about 7% of its staff.

I purchased for 150k, two unit. Selling for 302k. The problem is. Even if someone wanted the house for say 375 or 400k, it wouldn't make sense from the rental income perspective. You'd be breaking even.

So until the lower/middle class makes more money and we have good job growt, rents cant go up. If rents cant go up, than the rental property value is capped. Thats at least what im telling myself, but I truly believe we are in that scenario where home prices just cant go much further because who is left to buy?

The odds of having a crappy tennant in a duplex you bought for 150k are awfully high, lol. Glad you are making out ok though.

Believe it or not, that wasnt that low of a price back in 2018, and that was upstate NY a decently priced home market. Duplexes really dont have a ton of value because they are often 100 years old and in fairly urban areas. The most they would run around my wpuld be 250k. I happened to nab this one in a part of the area that was on the rise. I lucked out for sure.

Tenant was actually fine for a while. And simply got a bad boyfriend who ruined her life.

Yeah, guys, throw out the man who wants us to spend less money, wants single issue bills, wants the Epstein files, doesn’t want war, doesn’t serve as a puppet for a foreign country, and backs the constitution more than any of his peers.

Who needs that? We need more neocons who love killing in war and serving a foreign nation. Why? Cause AIPAC says so.

That's great to want all that but in the end he voted with the Democrats to raise taxes by 4 trillion and also to shut the Government down.

I like Massie, generally, but his contrarian attitude is not helpful at all for getting things done. He can talk all day about what he wants, but if no one else is backing his ideas, what's the point of voting the opposite to prove a point?

My private insurance went up 30 bucks a month. Biggest increase in 6 years.
About 40 percent of American children are covered by a public plan....But Trump is more focused on Golden ballrooms and promising to withhold food if Dems won't let him raise their health insurance rates.

What happened to your old account Sam? Did you delete it because you were ashamed of how dumb you constantly made yourself look?

exactly. at some point you get what you are going to get and you vote for it. You don't vote with the other party because you didn't get your way.

There are people out there who like this guy. Why? I have no clue


You don’t have to endorse every single thing he says. He’s a million percent right regarding Israel and the Zionists though.

He trolls a ton and goes over the line but his main reason for not liking Vance is he’s a Peter Thiel creation and believes he will be the one used to usher in the NWO.

He also thinks Vance misrepresents his career as a marine because he didn’t do combat and just wrote press releases.

I'm sorry, when precisely did Fuentes serve in the Corps? What gives that smarmy little **** the right to question someone like Vance's honor or service?
