We do have a 0% down mortgage program for first time resident buyers (that can only be used once), but the property purchase limit is $200,000 and it is difficult to find multi-unit properties in this price range - unless they are in a C or even D area.

Podcasts led me to believe that rental cash flow that meets or exceeds monthly expenses is sufficient to quit a 9-5. 

For instance, here's a small screen shot of PMs listed for Dallas-Forth Worth area, where I've seen PM rec requests come from lately:Then you'll at least get some names of companies who are association members to start with.If your area doesn't have a chapter, like our Ohio, you can choose the "Location" option under that same "Search for a Member" section and it will list all of the PMs in the location range you specify.I hope that's a helpful tip!

The comps there are in the 140-170 range)2

My bank has me approved for 215k but I want a home in the 100k range.

I would like to try to get a FHA loan on a duplex in the $60k or less range.

A smaller house on the same block sold for $106k, other sales range between $65k-$85k. 

What I have noticed, however, is that most duplexes within a decent price range are completely rented out!  

Buyer is responsible for all escrow fees typically ranging from $850 to $1,375.

The home inspection report states that this is sufficient for each unit.What would you do?
