Finding the right duplex

Hello friends. Thought I'd check in and see how people found their first duplex. In the process of pre-qualifying and starting to look around at property in our area. Been looking at various sites (Realtor.com, Zillow, etc.) and have a search set up on the MLS through a realtor. Also occasionally peeking at craigslist, but the market is pretty hot around Austin.

How did you find the first right duplex to dive into real estate investing?

@David Sray we got started by looking at a foreclosure. It's always competitive, but just keep at it and keep trying. You can also look for duplexes with a store bought for rent sign.

The number is usually to the owner. Call and ask if they are considering selling. You may get some tired landlords that way.
