In my market - new build duplexes dont cash flow well but are typically a great 5-10 year investment. 

Purchase price: $747,500 Cash invested: $130,000 Back in 2021 I jumped on a duplex that has 4BR/3BA on each side and is walkable to The BeltLine (an area popular with ATL's younger community).

I currently have about $50k in cash and am looking to spend no more than $250k on my first property (less depending on the area, number of units, etc.), inclusive of any renovation costs. 

I also work in the Rochester, NY area providing deals for cash buyers.

Purchase price: $120,000 Cash invested: $150,000 Dilapidated house.

just to be candid - i am very skeptical that a house at that price point will cash flow.
