Bruce's realtor will likely be willing to help but he may not want to spend hours helping if a deal is not in sight.

@Katie Haney  careful that price range and tenant range is for experts in the local market generally.. out of state folks stand a very good chance of having some pretty rough financial times .. take your 50k and buy something for 150k you will thank your self over time. there is a reason a duplex would sell that low in todays market.. the market is pricing for risk.. when you live out of market your risk already goes up... there are plenty of better buys out there .. than a duplex at 50k..

If you don't mind, i'd like to pick your brain a little to get an idea on some more detailed info... car counts, avg per car, and maybe a little insight on how your SBA loan went.
