I've looked at a few bank foreclosure sites and browsed through the internet on properties. 

I've had some success browsing meetup.com for events.

Browse the forum, look who seems to fit your criteria based on their posts and reach out to them.

Then, browse this forum and see what we post and how we answer questions.

I was browsing the most recent posts by date/time and didn't notice this was in the DIY forum. 

Fransisca, you should browse around apartments.com and zillow.com near your place and see what's renting and for how much.

I can't stop browsing multiplex's this month and I've seen a lot of rental opportunities I don't want to wait for as I can afford them now, but they are 4 to 6 hours out from my city.I don't know why I thought this, but I assumed I would not have to visit the property in person before purchasing it (I mean, people do this with pre-built condos/townhomes/houses, I figured I could do it with a resale duplex). 

@Ted Glass Thank you, i was browsing through some of the posts, I just didn't know if there was an ideal place, or topic to start with.

This is one of the last markets that you can find great deals from browsing through the MLS, and still retain high rental demand, low eviction and vacancy rates, etc. 

If browsing the forums is the best thing for me to do, then send me on my way!
