Duplexes are very common here and are much easier to find than a Quad as well.

Hello Ryan,  can you please add me as well to the virtual meet up?

I think it's great...it's an opportune time to let them know what they are doing well and that you appreciate it - as well as to discuss areas of concern.

I am an investor friendly agent as well looking to start my journey in RE investing.

Now for some nice winter shots then schedule for summer so you can add them as well.

I remember being 30 minutes into a call and him saying “alright well I don’t know what else we have to talk about.”

And yes, the income from renting is still taxable, but ideally you are offsetting a chunk of that with depreciation which is a non-cash expense.You should read Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland's books as well which are available in the BP Bookstore. https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/tax-strategies-book...

Consider cleaning, lawn care, snow removal and supplies as well as utilities  in your calculations.  

As a side note, and maybe others will recommend this as well, obtain your real estate license instead if you are interested in pursuing sales full-time.

For your situation, it sounds like a seller financing purchase could be a good fit as well but this would also have limited options and the terms wouldnt likely be great.
