You know I have wondered the same exact thing. Yes they are within blocks of each other. Mrs. Rivers and I have contemplated building on an empty lot as opposed to both, for the long haul. Wise advice Mr.Josh.

Good points Jay. I have always heard that investors don't buy cash we create it. You know I never liked working for money, I always wanted it to be for fun. I think I would get alot of joy out of working with my sons on a duplex that maybe I should have stayed away from and my children and I turning i profitable. I wonder how much of this is poor thinking?

Thank you for your response, Brianna. Seems so simple, I have the cash to buy the gutted, and like u said I would own it. I know nothing about repairing a home. I guess it really isn't a deal if u can't fix them huh.

Hello all. I am a new real estate investor this will be my first purchase. I can get a gutted double, or ran down place for about 15k, or I could spend 45k and get a rent ready duplex? Was wondering which would actually be better?
