Hi Chris, I'm a Torontonian who got started recently with a duplex in Buffalo.

When I bought my owner occupied duplex my agent left a gift basket on the counter as a surprise. $50 Home Depot gift card and a bottle of champagne.

Found a deal on a Duplex that owner is offering owner financing.As a possible buyer of a duplex that is being offered with Owner financing.

I just got a duplex with tenants in it, one was M2M paying way lower than market rent but she was a 2 year tenant with a good record, I just renewed her lease increasing little to a number that works but still below market rent, the positve note is that she is paying on time and I didn't have to spend money in the property, the other tenant renewed a lease with us and paying close to MR, at the end of the day you need to do your due diligence and make sure the numbers work.Same question for people who have bought properties without tenants already there?  

I am a NY investor who invested some years back in Springfield MA during the real estate crash in 1992 where condos selling for $110K were sold at auction for $40K.

I have a duplex that I owner occupy here that works great, however finding a new deal that makes sense is difficult in Madison.I grew up in the Janesville area but really am not familiar with it anymore in regards to the neighborhoods.

For two condos I own, Airdna was spot on.

I recently purchased a duplex and inherited two tenants.

I also have a development project on a condo that is about to break ground in Mexico. 

She described the type of customers you described.Then her mom had some money to invest, and we decided to join her to purchase rentals, mainly duplexes and triplexes.
