so ill be learning how to study different markets so I can eventually purchase a duplex to rent hack with my Family!

Recently though, the ice that has for the last few years been around me, melted and I'm more motivated than ever to study, save, learn and take a leap.  

The factors you brought up are big and should be studied and understood.

I have been studying RE really well over the past year.

Study everything you can from #1 the rules of the business (yes Bill) to the creative side of deal making and investing.  

I am looking at a project that is  a historic building that sits in an Acre and is 8700sf . very walkable to lots of amenities,restaurants,grocery, schools, government offices e t c.in the past i have remodeled SFH ,renovated industrial builings to retail centers (sizes up to 15000sf)Project Scope: i am thinking retrofiting and add an addition and have aprox 32 units of apartments with elevator, and finishes stainles appliances,granite tops, study says that target tenants are milenials,retiress and due to proximity to government offices government employees.current rents go for 1bed 900-1000 and for 2 bd 1100-1200  . the sf need for 1 bed is 800sf ( should be able to rent according to the study for $1200)and for the 2 bed is 1200sf( should be able to rent according to the study for $1400)for this area.14  1 bed x $1000 =$14000 x12=$168,000. year18   2bed x $1200 =$21600x12=$259,000 yeartotal yeqarly income $427,000.00 -8%$34,160)vacancy (study says 3% for this area)=$392,840.00 yerly gross income.using current rents for fast stabilization as the goal is a non recource loan.i have couple questions that i would greately apreciate your input. 1)is it worth going after tax credits and how do i find more information?

You need to study and get at least a general background of info, to figure out what is best for you. 

No offense, but I think Malcolm needs to insist that you put a lot more study into investing before he partners with you again in the future...

Just can't wait till my first deal closes :) BTW, because of the info I found on the “school†I did not sign up and just studied on my own.
