If you come east, you can still find houses - even duplexes and the occasional triplex or {even} quadriplex - for under 100K.  ;-)... of course, you will need to re-invest 10K - 50K in many such properties.

Our bylaw says everything behind the wall is a common area and any repairs on that side is a financial responsibility of the association, not  owners. 

Hi All - I am in escrow on a duplex in Saint Joseph, Missouri and am wondering if anyone knows of a quality property management company in the area. 

I'm wondering if it is worth buying some of these lots to build structures (single family vs duplex) on them to possibly rent out or sell.

Otherwise tell her she will be responsible for th ecost of repair.When you know tenants are lying you have to force them against the wall.

Buy a duplex or 4 unit (rare) focus on livable condition for one side.

I would recommend you look at that as the prices compared to Austin will be much much less.Start with a duplex or single family, do that for a couple years and then go bigger.I have done all single family so far and will be doing that for another 2-3 years.

Here in Chicago, I never hear anyone talk about a “duplex, triplex, or fourplex”.  

Good evening all- I just purchased my first investment duplex however I’m in a bit of a bind.

I am just as intrigued with real estate investing as investing in Wall Steet all because it is, well, its investing.
