That's awesome progress Jonathan and congrats on the first duplex. 

Are you posting your progress anywhere like a blog Kyle?

As always, THANK YOU and never stop progressing towards your goals!

And we started logging progress and availability on a company FB page, cross promoting to local swap pages, and now we have people asking when our next property will be available.

I evaluate deals for a few hours a day for a local, seasoned investor in the area, but that is not the big payout I was hoping for when I decided that Real Estate was the avenue I wanted to go.Does anyone have any recommendations or advice for how I might educate myself more quickly or more effectively?

@Coby Herzog people switch all of the time - at the end of the day I would just evaluate why you want the things you think you need to see if you really do in order to be successful.

I have a SFH in Scottsdale that is just about break-even every month and am evaluating my exit strategy.  

Is it overly difficult to find the "right area" when you're evaluating and buying from long distance?

I been evaluating a few duplex and it seem this property numbers work for me. 

Never use anyone's numbers but your own to truly evaluate a deal.
