@Joseph Rath keep saving and once you are ready to pull the trigger then you can absolutely house hack a duplex with FHA financing and sellers assistance to help with closing costs and get into a duplex under 200k for $12,000 or less total investment

Duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes are easier to find though, to be sure. 

I am looking to buy my second duplex in Cleveland.

You can typically gain more value by duplexing the 1st unit down with the basement commanding more rent.

First time MF investor.  18 units, (6 duplex 2 tri), $810k purchase price, $120k cash down payment, cashflow after all expense and reserve and project note payment is $1600 per month.Bank to finance $690k. 

I bought the property with an FHA loan, and need to end the month-to-month lease on one of the units (it's a duplex) in order for me to move-in.

I wonder if they were saying it costs about 10k for the materials to "print" the exterior walls or something, not counting the labor, overhead and machinery involved to build those walls...Not even counting the foundation, roof, utilities, trim, partition walls, doors, paint, etc. 

My wife and I both live with her parents so I don’t have a mortgage of my own to pay so that gives me a little freedom to look at different options out there.My question is should I start with duplexes or single family’s and should I stick to one form of rentals or should I have a mix of both also how much should I spend for my first rental?

That being said, I know Jordan well and while he wouldn't brag I can tell you he is an expert at scaring up off-market stuff, so you should definitely connect with him.Here are my thoughts on your criteria: B- area or better: No problem there are lot's of B- or better areas with duplexes.
