Just sealed the first deal ever, but still have a way out if I wanted to...Duplex in a nice school, wanted area in suburban Philadelphia ffor 250k, with potential cash flow around 500 monthly, about 1000 per unit.The prices around philly are inflated and so I know I am buying at the top but still feels ok to me.What do you guys think?

Lot is in bad shape...cannot do a seal or pave over.  

I got the inspection report back stating roof was approximately 8 years old (supposed to be new), furnace approximlatey 15 years old, AC unit 10, soffits hanging down, rotted door threshold, bedroom door that doens't latch, front door that has gaps to the exterior, electrical ground cut, a/c condenser line broken, basement foundation cracked, counter tops lift off (not sealed to cabinet), toilet loose, driveway and walkway leading to front door cracked, iron sewer line leaking, bathroom sink has leak in pipe (in the line, under the sinkbowl) and a few other items.I know not everything on the inspection report is a big deal, and inspection reports always have items on there, but..................... what concerns me is the fact that the roof was marketed to me as being new and is not, its approximately 8 years old.... the HVAC was marketed to me as being under 5 years old and its not...... its over 5 years old (with issues), counter tops weren't sealed to cabinets,soffits were supposed to be repaired (according to the scope of work) , and the foundation is cracked (which could or could not be a big deal).  

We are wondering what kind of flooring we should put down and if we should paint/seal it first.

My handyman has cleaned it up and sealed it.

I am thinking about sealing some of my driveways myself.

Laura, I think a first rental property being a 24 unit complex would be baptism by fire and could be like a Navy Seals type boot camp for a landlord (3 hours of sleep and all)....

I have focused all of my attention on marketing and finding leads right now but not sealing the deal!

I went with the type that you used glue, the concept being it would hold up better to water getting on it.I ended up having to sell the house and move for work, I only lived on the flooring (that I installed myself) for a few weeks before the house was no longer mine.I have no idea how well that flooring held up, but it seems the concept of glue does not really exist anymore.Would using a glue not provide a better seal against water damage? 

example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ORTFH0/ref=o...If you have a lot of them, try sealing cracks in walls/outlets/etc and keep the humidity below 50% (these fellows seem to prefer moist climates, in my experience).
