Any real estate investors on here?

[Benjamin Parker]

I have a few questions. First, I'm a truck driver and scheduling in-person meetups is just a pain. Is it possible to find a multifamily property on Trulia and buy it over the phone/ internet without getting screwed?

Second, I want to pay cash. Is $130k enough for a place like Michigan? I see a bunch of homes in my price range but it seems too good to be true. 

Last, I was thinking of living in one unit and renting the other(s). Am I crazy?

Thanks!
