Is getting on a wholesaler's buyer list a good way to go as this cuts out a lot of time and hard work as to finding the great deals?

Expenses are deducted on a proportional ratio on Schedule A/Schedule E.

I'm currently an E-6 with 5 years in and I love the Navy, it's just not for me for the next 15 years.

I would also add real estate and bonds to the list as well.I think we are in a deflationary environment (i.e. too much debt and excessively low interest rates) and expect the value of most asset classes to fall over the coming few years.Like you, I'm saving my cash and hoping to buy my first rental property when prices come back down.Best of luck with your investments!

I won't comment on the property but I do have advice on the place to eat - it's pretty much walking distance from your duplex: Scotty's Italian Eatery, 882 E 185thAll these fancy overpriced places on google don't get close to this small nice family restaurant.Amazing pizza and calzones!

I have a duplex in Richmond Hill, ON, and I want to know where can I list it similiar to zillow, trulia, hotpads etc. here in the USA

Here is one example:https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/7920-E-1st-Ave-Mesa-AZ-85208/8070333_zpid

Mostly lenders will give you exception for property which is under 1 year rental history with 75%  rental income or from your schedule E.
