I accepted a tenant into a B class rental a few years back who was making low 6 figures at the time as a union boiler-maker but had NO CREDIT SCORE!

If you intend on putting in 50 low ball offers a month, make sure your Realtor knows and is ok with that amount of legwork (because it's a lot).

I applaud you for putting it out there but 1) maintenance/cap ex is far too low for a duplex 2) no PM. 3) vacancy at 1% will be challenging if achieving near market rent.

when I first started lending in Detroit in 2002.. the rehabbers there would paint the copper in the basements with grey paint in the low light theives would think its galvanized and not take it.

There are a lot of hotels right now that are failing and going under due to low cash flow -so its a failing hotel.

I would search for a property that has a low interest rate Fha or VA loan.

I have seen this range from as low as $100 up to $300.Do I need to pay anything before sitting at the closing table?

There is an abnormally low amount of new construction occurring on the coast in comparison to the demand and the existing inventory can be quite dated, especially for those coming from areas like California.

For the duplex, would you consider it to be in a high quality (A), medium (B), or low (C) neighborhood?

I haven't filed a claim all these years but insurance is for the what-if and to be used for the high-ticker items, but chances of damages exceeding the 5% is low.
