I think the most important thing is what is there risk tolerance, and expect ROI.Beware of what you say, as you don't want to be soliciting.

Personally I tend to have a low tolerance for risk.

When people see trash on the ground, they are more likely to feel that it's okay for them to do it too.Persistence and Zero Tolerance can go a long way!

happened 2x in my attendance.you have to go for a couple of auctions. bring the list and write each result and how they are bid.I found the proceed to be unfair. but that's me. and I have very low risk tolerance. you may be OK ;)

Depending on your risk tolerance, in Toledo, you can buy property with a 25% to 75% ROI all day long.

There tends to be a general tolerance for the genre of the Note Guru.

I'm hoping you might be willing to tolerate a little more company.

Evaluate your risk tolerance, investment objective, time frame, additional money and necessary efforts to start getting returns again.

Bravo, you attacked both components of cash flow:  GSI - Expenses =NOI.Rents will naturally be limited by the local market and your tolerance for vacancies.Expenses should be reasonably stable except unforeseen occurrences.

I am not a Pro and have limited experience but these are my reasons:1) Not getting close to the 2% rule; even not close to 1% Rental / Price.2) In addition, the owner is paying utilities; that takes even lower in your Rental to price ratio.3) You know about some leaks and repairs required.4) Not appropriate parking; probably that is common on your location.In the other hand, I like  that you are comparing this duplex against SFH; if this is puts me on a better financial position and I tolerate the cons of living on a duplex; then and only then, I would proceed, understanding that this is not an investment property.My $0.02 ; Good luck!!!
