I have 2 properties that are currently rented by section 8 tenants, like Brian said, the key is keeping on top of things that may result in bigger problems in the future.

Current tax value of the property is 800k less than purchase price.

I have no experience with a flip and was thinking of using my current situation to start the learning process. 

I know that Lexington is currently on a trajectory to be infilling for a little while - which I feel is advantageous for real estate investors.

The duplex is currently in my name but was paid for in cash by a family member's line of credit.

My current insurance company, HoneyComb Insurance is not renewing me as they are getting out of that type of policy I have been told. 

Fully occupied currently, we are grossing $600 per week or $2400 per month roughly.

@Lauren DiMeoRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Stay informed about the current market trends and clearly define your goals :)

Look at market trends, neighborhood values, and property values to find homes that meet your needs and areas that have room to expand.For someone just starting out, house hacking is a great tactic.
