I have yet to see many (any) duplexes in that region that would sell for 140K, even if they are fully rehabbed.

So $18750 down, and lets say closing costs bring us to $20k even (would be too low here, but I understand these things vary regionally)

Questions will vary by property type and region. 

I'm watching a movie called Pacific Heights now as it was mentioned on Podcast 83 and in the movie, because the home tax payer turned off electric and water to his nonpaying tenant's unit, the tenant used it against him.

I believe Pacific Specialty will do it.

Now, you can't find enough of that type of property in the urban & inner city/downtown regions. 

Detroit used to be a manufacturing center of the nation (motor city), but now the entire region is referred to as the "rust belt".
