"The city's poverty rate of 19.7% is well above the nationwide average rate of 14.7%.

Although I'm not getting 2% or even 1% of purchase price in monthly rent, rent is still higher than cost of ownership (here) and favors the landlord.And, duplexes are appreciating here in Denver (again, I can't say that it's universal nationwide).

@Jack Quigley @Allen Chai I am from Central Jersey (Jackson) we purchase Defaulted Mortgages and real estate in NJ and nationwide. 

Find the outstanding amount of mortgages2.

If they say Nationwide, then you hit the jackpot because you can look anywhere. - Ask them what ARV (After Repair Value) or LTV (Loan to Value) they purchase at minus the repair costs.

@Allan RossoI think @James C. has provided you with an outstanding feedback.
