I recently purchased a 2 unit property as owner occupied with one unit already rented out. 3 months after closing, I was laid off due to a restructure at my company, so I decided to rent out the other unit my girlfriend and I planned to live in.

Congrats on your first duplex purchase!

I did a check on a guy 10 years ago came up clean as a whistle on my landlord association screening service.

@Mitch Davidson I purchased a property recently and closing in May.

When I looked at the house they kept it very clean.

Since there is a co-owner, you would have to purchase the property and it is really hard (if not impossible) to pull a HELOC as the basis for the purchase (since it is not your primary residence). 

I'm 23, and I'm looking to purchase my first rental property this year.

Just purchased a property in Las Vegas and wanting to jump into MTRs. 

So any contacts, known meet ups, or especially advice for an initial purchase is greatly appreciated! 

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.
