I think an undergraduate degree with a concentration in finance is a good choice whether you pursue a career investing in real estate or wall street. 

The college town in my area requires an off street parking spot for every person over 18 occupying the residence not necessarily a parking spot per bedroom.

While putting on a new roof and painting the house, a lady from across the street who managed a rooming house had come over to me and said she wished I could do that to her house.

@Dustin Street I own two rentals in KC and have been active in the market there for a couple years now.

Real Estate is a drug, we can get addicted!

I'm now closing on my first rental, a SFH in the Golden area, which I'll be househacking and turning part into a type of ADU so I'll be separate.I know you're asking about duplexes but I quickly learned SFH appreciate more, typically are on nicer streets, are easier to sell of need be, and there is opportunity easily to cash flow with a rent by the room strategy.

Our street is tree lined and stands out from most streets in the area.the agent presented an offer to me and I explained that I would not accept an offer until we knew what the comp was on the house down the street.

Either your realtor didn't allow enough time in the contract or your lender drug their feet.

Even if the area has Google street view you don't know the condition of the property today.

The murder likely had something to do with drugs or relationship issues and nothing to do with Landlord-Tenant relations.
