The financials of the property and applicants investing experience / credit history will factor into the proposed terms for the purchase. 

Hi,As a first time home buyer, I want to learn and experience real estate so I would like to buy a duplex to gain experience as a landlord and get familiar with the processes.

Most of the bad things concerning tenants have happened from inheriting existing tenants when buying a property.Any advice or experience on this issue would be greatly appreciated.I'm currently looking at a duplex for sale with existing tenants, trying to learn the ins and outs of possibly dealing with that issue.Thanks in advance.

I am interested in hearing about any experiences (both negative and positive) you have had regarding Section 8 rentals before proceeding down this route!

Yeah, at this point, I’m just hoping for some general watch outs or to hear about other people’s experiences, good and bad, and any advice.

So maybe you are "paying" for the PASSIVE experience with delays and changes that take you for a loop.

Just your experience things you liked and didn’t like Quote from @Bob Stevens: Quote from @Damein White: Any other mid term rental investors in Cleveland are looking to network  What do you want to " network" about ?

I think this is smart to do, but you are making move for quality of life as well so make sure the town is a place you will enjoy (along with the new job) living.I've seen people use metrics to move out-of-state without really getting a feel for how much their lifestyle suits the new market.

If your jobs are in Bakersfield and not remote I would suggest to begin investing locally to gain the experience.

After speaking to the listing agent I found that all but one buyer had the same experience.
