How many active duplexes do you see in Lakewood for sale right now?

Hello all,I have been actively looking for my first investment property for the last few months and have had the opportunity to put in one offer so far based on what I am looking for numbers-wise.

Soft currency, hard currency, it’s equivalents and commodities (natural resources)From there, For local economy cash flow (spending money where you live), you’ll probably get into real estate and local business cash flow activities and it’s deviations 

The cost of living and cost of replacing are getting harder with more extreme events.Cost of electricity and cost + availability of water will also start to play even larger roles than they do today, especially in hotter states.

You’ll need to meet the 100-hour material participation rule by actively managing the property—tasks like updates, repairs, and managing bookings count.

I'm actively thinking about my target areas and possible deals, but would really appreciate if there were any groups or mentors available interested in discussing the ins and outs of favorable market locations, financing, ideal type of investments and getting that elusive First Purchase!

Also, how to prove "Spend more than 100 hours on the activity and no one other individual spends more time than you do"? 

She has informed me that she is actively working on furnishing the home to operate as a STR should I decide to proceed.I have not closed on this property yet as I'm still determining if it will be a viable investment option for me.
