Researching the best markets and pros and con's to this. 

Depending on the size duplex you get market rental rates are $1000-$1250 in Lehigh Acres. 

Also my cash from the sale has been sitting in a 5% money market.

The single families sell between 200-400k, but there are a decent amount of them on the market at any given time.  

I'm starting to see properties that were bought off the MLS two years ago, go back on the market at a loss of 6% to 10% of ARV.

The seller will not let us extend due diligence and will just put it back on the market and said he could do these repairs for half of the cost of the low bid (~5k).

Hey Aaron, Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation.

Very competitive market.

There is and will continue to be a shortage of good, affordable housing in growing markets like San Antonio.

The biggest advantage of having a good buyers agent to me is the comps they know to better value your potential property, the digital offer PSA and connections to a good inspector and lender.
