Duplexes for $1M.In Cambridge (next to Boston, home to Harvard and MIT), there are only two duplexes on the market. 

We always got along great but she came from a successful professional background (father a Harvard MBA running a Fortune 500 company) me, my background, not so much.

Last year in these BP forums, I quoted and linked to two studies (one by Harvard, I think) that reported that for the vast majority of markets, rent prices either increased significantly or held steady with historical increase rates during the great recession. 

Of course, you may want to live in an exciting neighborhood with exciting neighbors who drive pricey cars and host wine samplings and brag about public elementary schools that will rocket their brats straight into Harvard in a capsule made of melted-down silver spoons.

In some cases, this idea is not as risky as it seems.When Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to start Microsoft, some people considered the decision to be a gutsy move.

@Marc Winter Yes 3 deals since November 2017, Although I had a few leads that turned into bidding wars which we lost, most recently a Harvard Street property in DC.

The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you.

The owner is a Harvard lawyer and has access to WAY more information than I do now as I'm basically on the outside.

If you haven't already, reach out to @Deren Huang and get on his MFP email, that'll help you see what's coming on the market now.The areas I focused my search on for MFP's were all in Tulsa so I don't know if that'll help you or not, but here they are:- S 78th E Ave (just west of 71st and Memorial)- S Hudson Ave (also called E 77th Pl I think, it's a street east of 51st and Yale)- S Harvard Ct (between 51st and 61st on Harvard)- S 75th E Ave (just west of 51st and Memorial)- S Canton Ave and S Darlington Ave (on the SE corner of 71st and Yale)-  S Indianapolis Ave (North and South of 71st Street just off of Harvard)I will warn you, all of those areas go for more than $100k, but they are also all areas I'd feel safe living in and have fairly good rent prices.

It sounds like they don't care I went to Harvard or Yale they want PROOF that I can pay them back!
