I had found an okay deal for a duplex, and given the market and how tough it had been to find extraordinary deals, I decided to pursue it.

Once you get someone in there it will be very easy to manage with little to no repairs/interactions from the tenants. 

Defending a libel suit can be unpleasant.But before doing any of that, talk with the seller and give him a chance to make it right - and get as much of your interactions in email as you can so you have a paper trail.If that talk doesn't work out, it's probably worth spending a little on an hour with a real estate attorney.

I hope to learn a great deal from interacting with many current investors out there.

Their hours are plain install, no material carrying, buying of materials, client interaction, overhead.

I handle all the interaction, details, and harassing the flipper, they get their principal and return upon completion (only a few more weeks!) 

I was watching a couple millennials interact with three older generations (father, grandmother & great grandmother) last week.   

looking forward to learn and interact with other veterans.

However, he had business cards with CEO printed on them.My experience has been that you can pretty quickly sort out the real deal when you interact with people. 

I started taking this seriously about a week ago and have already learned a lot from my interactions here.Thank you both for your responses.
