The duplexes will be in B-class mix of blue-collar and white-collar neighborhoods with good rental demand and during times of a recession they should hopefully hold their rental price & demand.How does the plan sound?

Feel free to send me some deals , which you really hate to let go.At least it will help others. 

I'm in a decent city which helps a lot, but a lot of places further south really got the shaft 

It's normal to feel uncertain, but knowledge can help reduce fear and guide you through the process.For those navigating these complexities, there are resources available that can assist with understanding your options.

Thank you again for your help :)

This would help you confirm where the boundary is, and what you own and do not own.

I'm happy to help anyway I can. 

I’d love to help and connect you with my team in the area.

Along with tools and internal Process you have for selecting applications and ensuring compliance with all laws would be helpful. 

We haven't decided if we want to use it as a long-term rental or flip it, so would appreciate any advice on that as well.We've been trying to read up on how to get started, but have a few questions we were hoping to get help with:1) What are the key things to look for in identifying a specific area to purchase in?
