Foreclosure Duplexes For Sale. Are these a good start for two aspiring Property Owners? Please advise.

[Stefon Bostick]

Hey all, definitely need some guidance here and appreciate any expertise offered.  I ventured into other avenues in life and am now back looking to become a first time property owner looking for a residual income as a result.  Me and a partner of mine are looking to get started and are wondering if buying a foreclosed duplex is a good start on the path of becoming a sucessful real estate investor.  Any tips and pointers out there to steer me in the right direction?  Are foreclosed duplexes a good place to start or am i getting myself in trouble?  Please advise with any help guys and thanks for your time.
