Trying to find a duplex to buy.

[George Batton]

I'm having trouble finding one online because all the ones listed seem to be bad deals or in bad areas. I'm trying to find out how to find a good deal and what aspects of the location to keep in mind. Should I try to find a brick building or is wood okay? I have around 65k in an account. What's the most I should pay or lease one for and what is the least amount I should lease one for before I'm just getting junk. What things about the areas I'm looking for do I need to watch out for? What kind of places are more likely to have duplexes for sale as opposed to single-family units?
