I'm focusing on buying and selling mortgage notes. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I am looking into buying a duplex in Hyatt Park and wanted to get some advice on what contractors/suppliers I could contact that have investor friendly pricing for kitchen cabinets, countertops, and bathroom vanities.

As you gather all this information, I would continue bettering the process and continuing to buy deals.

Then I'd start by saving up, so you can buy your own house and rent out rooms in the house (or buy a place with a suite).Talk to your parents about what their goals are with the properties, what they like and what they don't like.

From my understanding, based on my experience buying and selling properties in Texas, any known repair or damage—even if resolved—should still be disclosed, along with a note explaining that it was fixed.

I have been trying to buy my first property  without luck.

You could organize your own in-person event and market to your avatar. 

This means, IT IS TIME TO BUY!!!
