When you put in the COMPLETE math there is no comparison between real estate and wall street, real estate blows the doors off wall street every time. 

I also though people would be more helpful and such, but that is not really the case for me and have decided to go back to my original plan of just simply going through the banks and getting experience before I cold call again and door knock.

Good Morning,So I have always dreamed of getting a duplex as my first house and to house hack to get my foot in the door in real estate investing.

But they never do, or will.

.- Tenant submitted a work order for low water pressure in 2 bathrooms- Tenant submitted a work order because the garage door doesn't close all the way and left a 2-3 inch gap at the bottom- Owner initially refused to address either work order- Owner demanding the tenants place furniture pads on each piece of furniture- Owner calling multiple times to speak through the work orders, asking when they've been scheduled, calling a couple days later requesting the invoices- Owner calling because they want to access their storage in the basement so they can remove several pieces of furniture being stored- Owner now emailing requesting multiple property inspections throughout the lease cycle- Owner questioning my experience and relative PM knowledge because I'm not following up with her in a timely manner (the following day after the work order)Keep in mind, this is 2 weeks after the tenants had moved in and the tenants are very happy in the home.This is something we see on a regular basis.

I currently own a duplex that is cashflowing at 14% COC for 2 years and i figure the more doors the better.

That beaing said you should focus on buying a 2-4 unit Multifamily the more doors the more cash flow. 

I have 3 doors that need to be managed in Jax and Citrus Spring.

They sold two appreciated duplexes in Dallas and we turned them into 8 units in Mesa, AZ with higher cash-flow, and much closer proximity to Southern California.I'll add to your Phoenix "pros" list:1) Landlord friendly rental rules2) Easy evictions in < 30 days3) Rents are rising faster (on a % basis) than many other metro areas4) Low property taxes (and the property taxes don't sky rocket after a purchase as they do in CA)5) Very low vacancy and extremely high tenant demand.

This "failure" opened the door for a few other things that have come about!
