I was originally looking to buy a Duplex in Dallas and house hack, but I've found the options for duplex's to be slim around these parts.  

Depending on what your budget is, it's rather slim pickings that are swooped upon instantly.  

These are slim deals but they do (barely) work.

My budget is pretty slim so I'm not able to send out as much as need to.

I'd say read some good books and go to some local meetings and meet people but also work work work and save save save now, while you're responsibilities are slim to none.Drive a 1992 honda accord, go to resale shops for clothes and pack them lunches.Good luck!

Unless you have cash your access to foreclosure properties will most likely be slim.

Your chances of having any problems are slim to none.

I now own a house on a list to be torn down and even if I wanted to appeal the chances are very slim it would be overturned.  

Since we're just starting 2016 the reports you'll get for this year will be slim, so if you see oddities on 2015's reports you might ask for 2013 rent roll as well.As far as questions, I generally ask about how old the roof is, how old the systems are, etc.

ARV of $90k above what you're paying for it, then topping off with $50k of work gives you a very slim margin.
