How have you found success finding deals in today's market?

Today, that duplex is worth $475,000–$500,000.

I don't know, it sounds kind of weird but my friend is kind of freaking out about potential liability since the lien was literally placed on the house essentially hours before closing. she needs to contact whoever wrote the title insurance.. the attorney is just an agent for the insurance carrier.. that should fast track.. this happens I have had it happen to me by crooks/criminals literally who put a mortgage on a property 15 minutes before my title company recorded my mortgage so when my title policy came out i was in second position not first position as my escrow instructions stated I needed to be .. 

So, what is happening today is not as important as what will happen in the foreseeable future.If rents are increasing faster than inflation (I use 5% per year as an average rate), then it may be worth holding the property, since your cash flow will increase as rents rise.However, in your post you stated, "Mortgage rates have kept increasing as well, that's why I put a range on negative cash flow."

YouTube is also a fantastic resource—it's free and you can learn at your own pace, which is a huge benefit.
