Makes perfect sense.  

My husband and I recently purchased/are waiting to close on our first duplex (50/50 rule applies perfectly, making $600/mo profit or 300 each and we already have tenants lined up to move in). 

He seemed perfectly ok with it.

 @Methuselah Arnold: We moved to get away from CA, i had been there my entire life and i my views and the views of the state differed GREATLY.

Your local REIA meetings are perfect.

I just had a blowout on 75 @Joe Villeneuve I crawled off the highway at Rosa Parks and went to Corktown.Corktown is a perfect example of what can happen in the city. 

We have put offers on a few properties, and 1 we were beat out by a cash buyer, then we found one that would work really well for us, not perfect but really workable, only to have seller who was open to land contracts decided that they want 25% down.

You've found the perfect place to get your investing education. 

Do I also take into consideration the cost to clean up the entire place or cleaning up perfectly doesn't matter since poeple are willing to live there in current condition? 

I think you are the perfect candidate for doing some Wholesaling.
