Looking for an update - do you guys have a local meetup group that meets at a certain location/date/time?

I'm looking to get into investing and have 120k roughly to begin with, located in Dallas and have visited the foreclosure auction at the courthouse but was a little disappointed as I did a bunch of homework and none of the houses I was interested in showed up.

All this is market driven so where is the property located?

Okay, I found a property in my town, great location, 1900 sq feet and I think it will rent easy for 1k. 

Hello,I recently had an air conditioning unit go out in a duplex located in Parma, Ohio (Near Broadview Rd).

Perhaps I'm making this more complex than necessary but given the potential tax burden I'm trying to evaluate all possibilities - especially since the house is in an ideal location for my spouse and I to live there for a couple years.

I found a duplex ( 3 and 3 units) good location, good condition, move in ready.

I would say you are safe in that 6.5%-7% range depending on exactly where the property is located.
