Buying First Duplex

[Tia Gaulke]

Hello, I will be buying my dads duplex. He will be selling it to me at almost $150,000+ below appraisal. This is a big win to start with. What are my best options for loans? How do I get started? How can I be prepared? 

Also, how do I think long term and consider using this as a stepping stone to buying similar properties in the future?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
