Other than that I put a star next to certain Allison Biggerpocket emails that I receive if I want to reference it for later.

Without knowing what your end goal it's hard to tell but with the new revitalization of Lone Star Brewery if it's close to that area I'd probably start rehab the property

We've been using Rachel Ford for years and she is a total rock star!

I have a rental property that I will be doing some energy efficiency improvements using local utility grant money through the energy star home performance program.

For this reason instead of sticking to SFH, I have began running numbers on Duplexes which cash flow much better but I feel like it will be more difficult to find one with equity since they are valued differently.So my question is if I should shoot for the stars with a duplex that cash flows really well and has equity I can use a year after it is purchased or a SFH that may not cash flow as well but has much more equity.

As a buyer, you don't pay commissions so I recommend that you find a realtor who works with investors (versus those who star on Instagram) to add bench strength to your search, analysis, valuation, and resource pool.  

@John Casmon is another all-star active in that market. 

US Bank Trust NA is not a bank, this is a sub of Lone Star Funds.

I am pretty lost in this whole space but I know I definitely want to star investing into real estate.
