welcome to bigger pockets @Faheem B. stay active on the site, it is a great tool for all levels of investing.  

I am a broker and I only work in Commercial and yet DAILY on these forums I am in AWE at the way some of you interact both on this site as well as out there in the big world!!!

If you cant refi my bet would be to pile up the cash in a separate account so that you can build up a nice down payment for another duplex. 

I am still wanting to do real estate investing but now I will have to find another group or something to get the information and group support I need, so if anyone's out there who has these, please let me know by replying to this post and I would be happy to move to another string to talk with people on this site.

I bet most of these guys in your area would know just by the address what the potential for asbestos would be and possibly could alleviate your fears by a simple inspection. 

@Fradel Schaechter I started listening to the podcast last week, that's how I found out about this site.

The sellers have done all of the site prep and have paid for building plans that maximize the allowed footprint on the lot.

Ill check out those sites!

Today I also ran across a site called eStately and was able to find additional comps there.

I have checked out a few of the various sites that do this and I keep running into the same questions.
