So I have the ability to compare and contrast based on experience.Commercial versus Residential- clearly more money in commercial given the commission structure; you are paid for an entire lease term.

The reason I ask this is because the biggest hurdle you are going to face in the current market is falling rents in contrast to raising financing costs. 

It's the contrast between all that junk and the swinging soundtrack that makes it work for me! 

I want to compare and contrast two of them specifically but I'm having a little trouble because of the differences.My goal is to buy a duplex as my first property so I can live in one unit while renting out the other.

Talks about the lifestyle of unassuming rich people contrasting with typical big-hat-no-cattle poor people. 

(By contrast, J.

In contrast a MF property in the $200k Range  (I am assuming 200k to be a class A property near the upper end in a very nice neighbor hood.) 

In contrast, incomes from properties purchased for appreciation and/or rental incomes are exempt from taxation in an IRA, unless the property is purchased on leverage

(By contrast, the overflow areas south of Seattle only went up about 4%.)

OKhuge contrast of exterior vs interior. make sure the tenants that do get the place do not bridge the gap between the two.no appliances is another big one like someone else said.
