I highly recommend attending real estate networking events to meet more people is this space and pick their brain and learn more from their projects and see what is working and what is not.

-i highly recommend you travel in person to your chosen market to build a team. 

Not high on my priority list. do you have dog or dogs.. 

Signs of this are poor lease quality, maybe M2M tenants, high expenses (unnecessary things like high trash bills, internet, cleaning, security).

Because interest rates are high right now it probably doesn’t make sense to pull extra cash just to stick it in a bank account.

I am not yet familiar with specific areas though.Because of the high cap rates, your question does make sense.

If this property is near the beach or near downtown area, the appreciation potential could be extremely high and it can be easily over millions.

If you are not in a good neighborhood, you will not be attracting great tenants and sharing a duplex with someone can be a highly stressful and unpleasant experience, especially if the structure is not truly conducive to being a duplex.

Good afternoon Jason, Caleb had a very good point, I highly recommend owner financing to get you started on top of some sort of side gig.

It's high leverage, high risk.
