Hi Daniel,I think what I have been seeing for the most part is that duplexes up to four plexes are not necessarily marketed at certain cap rates but whatever the market and comparable properties have been selling for.Maybe a factor that contributes to this is that anyone with a traditional home mortgage can purchase up to a 4 unit building without getting a commercial loan.

Ran into some surprises like a drive way buried under where the new driveway was going which needed to be excavated ($400)Roofing costs have nearly doubled since I was last in the construction business, I budgeted 3500, it costs me 5200.I did not recgonize that there was significant drainage problems in both the front and back yards when I bought the place. 

I'm active duty military with a deployment a couple months away, so this is a factor in my strategy.

.- Harder to do remotely- but take a trip and do drive by's to find properties you may want to pursue.Hope these options help.

Your name is not in the public record with a  MO LLC, so there is a nice anonymity factor as well.Illinois is no longer as onerous with regard to fees as they used to be, at only $75/year. 

I would take a drive up to Wolcott NYRochester NY And Buffalo NY 

I'm doing rehabbing of investment deals & rentals 7-days a week, not even factoring in my wholesaling, and those houses "fly off the shelf".

My best advice is start with personal recommendations from friends and family in the area, try driving for contractors; kinda like driving for dollars, but you are looking in areas where there is a lot of investor activity and start collecting cards.

My assumption is that you would need your rental income to at least keep pace with the inflation as this will likely drive your expense percentage increase.
