Quote from @Caitlin MacMurtrie: I am looking to buy a duplex property in the Norwayne area of Westland, Detroit MI for 185k.

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

We have bid on several properties at typical foreclosure sheriff sales, so we are familiar with the process of doing title searches before bidding.

Some context, I have 3 other properties in a different city and am currently on 1099 income (so I can't do conventional) for the past 3 months.

The city is still getting property taxes. 

@Marquez Cadet Haven't used one in a while, but I am currently seeking bird dogs in Eastern PA, DE, NJ and Northern MD and am willing to pay $1000 per closed lead (paid when I close on buying the property).

There are PM's that manage on that side, Kansas City property managers don't generally travel that far.

Quote from @NA LudkeyLudkey: My spouse and I are looking to purchase our first investment property - a duplex.

Properties eligible for this must meet certain criteria.

I think I'm paying about $4300/yr on a $600k property but that's in western NC and rates will vary by location.
