@Duke Vang, I completely agree with @Stewart Guthrie about carefully considering your time spent on the property. Since it is only a duplex, the number of tenants is minimal and considering if the location is convenient for you to drive back and forth to handle any concerns that might occur, I would recommend to handle the management on your own. The "Lease-Up" is a great option to utilize to get your units occupied initially and reading the books mentioned above will give you a great start and confidence in the business. I also recommend the book, "Buy it, rent it, Profit: Make Money as a Landlord in any real estate market" by Bryan M. Chavis. Hope this helps!

Best of luck!

welcome to the Sacramento scene.  You've received some excellent advice already. Be sure to know that we locals are hear to help you as well.

Thank you very much for your time to write this. I will start and try to handle this situation. I'm still waiting for my promotion at work to become full time so I can start investing from my bank and from there it would or should be easier after the first year then start my next one. I've been looking at a lot of sites to get the duplexes and pricings as well. There isn't many duplexes in Sacramento area to be sold from what I've been seeing. Do you know any great site I can scroll through for duplexes?
