Welcome @Trevor Taylor and go Pokes!  I graduated from OSU a couple years ago and am getting into real estate myself.  Always stay learning and dive on in!

Ok thanks guys.  I'll get in touch with Deren Huang and look into the city zoning.  And thanks @Cain Wright for the BA locations.

Hi all,

What is a good way to find all areas of town that have duplexes?  I'm looking in Tulsa and Broken Arrow and am starting a list of every location I come across with a duplex.  I want to get a bigger list and then go drive them all to get a feel for the areas and see which ones I'd be willing to buy in.

Any tips?  I don't mind putting in the work I'm just looking for ideas.  I plan on househacking a duplex by summer time and want to make sure I'm comfortable with the location.

Thanks!

Thanks for the welcome everyone! 

@John Kunick I'll take you up on the help, would love to run some things by someone with experience so I can prevent as much of the "learning the hard way" as I can.

Edit - What did I do wrong with tagging someone? Do you need to be a pro/plus member to do so?

Wish I was in the area and I'd definitely take you up on the offer. It's a great thing you are doing, love to see people helping out, keep it up! 

Hello all!

My name is Zach Savage, I'm from Broken Arrow, OK and looking to get into real estate investing.  I graduated from college a year and a half ago in Accounting and am working on getting my CPA by next fall.  I'm fresh into the real estate environment with 0 physical experience as of yet but a lot of research and studying.  It has become a passion of mine and I just can't wait to dive in.  I'm constantly researching different strategies and running numbers and listening to the BP podcasts.

My short-term plan and way of entry is to house hack a duplex. Hope to close on one within the next 5-6 months and get the ball rolling.  Long term plan is to build a portfolio of buy and holds. (although that could change)

Can't wait to meet everyone!
