Turnkey duplex near a major employment hub with one unit fully updated and the other leased long-term at $1,445, giving you immediate stability and low hassle on day one. There’s some room to push rents a smidge but not enough to offset the risk of igniting a sour relationship with a good tenant. The real play here is locking in a turnkey product with a fresh 1yr lease, keeping vacancy risk low.

SFH + guest house with a separate entrance in a prime, Fort Worth pocket with separately metered utilities, which is rare for the SFH + ADU setup. That’s a big long-term win for both leasing and resale. Not a cash-flow monster, but it’s a clean, low-headache setup with strong tenant demand and real equity upside if you want quality, location, and flexibility over pure yield. Tenant in the guest house currently pays $600 + their own utilities and desires to stay if possible.
