Last year we had a 3 month stretch on our single fam and lost a good bit.

@James Fraundorf If you have to borrow from student loans to get a down payment you are stretching yourself pretty thin financially and I would hold off. 

Without knowing anything else, I feel like getting $950/mo for one side of a duplex in KCK might be kind of a stretch. 

More obviously would provide extra cushion so that's by no means a ceiling target.I have up to $100k liquid to devote to this and want to stretch it as far as I can.

If I stretch both investments out over 30 years, they almost seem to be equal - cash flow over 30 years plus the value of the property.

Is this to far of a stretch!?!?!

In the recent market, buyers and investors are stretching and overpaying. 

He sent the wire instructions later in a separate e mail (I told him to hurry, I had to get to the bank before I picked my kids up from school), the company name associated with the account was pretty non specific- for example "XYZ Sales"- could MAYBE, possibly, by some stretch be a title company, or something else associated with real estate. 

Storage is not rocket science by any stretch but if you are new to this, it might be advisable to master that before adding to the complexity.
