Duplexes

I am searching for my first investment property. Is it better to start with a $30k duplex or $100k and above. Can someone share why a person would want a more expensive over a lesser cost duplex. What are the pros and cons of each if you don't mind? Thank you!

You might find that the more expensive duplexes are in better areas, in better condition and command higher rents. Generally, those are the reasons that I would choose a more expensive duplex over a less expensive one.
