Rents = $1600 a month....

Leaving about $200 extra per month for insurance and lawn work/water bill....

Worth it???

Much depends on the current condition of the duplex and the real estate market in that neighborhood. If it's in excellent condition and requires no repair, maybe. You've not left yourself a whole lot of room for improvements or disaster with this investment property.

Red Bull For Everyone.
