@Josh L. just make sure to ask for Current shots and Vet records. 

She shot off an email and we were done.

@Bill S, thank you for the advice, I'm still having a little bit if a hard time figuring out what that "unfair advantage" is for me, other than a decent instinct at recognizing patterns in the market, so maybe I need to spend some more time figuring that out before moving on.

But I knew the title was clear and I knew the exterior looked decent.

(get seller to pay the closing costs and you can get a decent house pretty cheap)The cons: -you will have to pay PMI for life of the loan- contractors that do the work need to have all proper paperwork, and lead cert if doing lead work (these guys can be a lot more expensive)- 3.5% is based on total project cost, not just the price you pay for the home.

I've been wanting to start off househacking by buying a duplex but can't find anything under 250k in a decent area.

If you have a list that targets apt owners, I say it's worth a shot.   

A lot of investors will disagree with me, but for me, I can find fantastic cash flow, and if you're a handy dude you can get into a house pretty cheap with a decent return. 

She is a younger female whom is a decent tenant.

It's cute, well maintained, and close to Lake Michigan (decent perks for this area).
