My first mistake I know no push back but I was extremely happy that I found this "golden situation" on my first time out.

@Greg JeanfreauGreg,This stuff is golden!

Remember I’m new to this, so any advice about analyzing properties would be golden nuggets for me!

So, another lifespan column and I’m golden!!!

Troy Dee at Golden Land Surveying and Bruce Stone, City Manager were incredible to work with.

@Adrian Fajardo yes that definitely helps and your three main points are golden.

First tier suburbs are great too, like Golden Valley or St.

But if it goes down, the cash flow of the property is what is going to protect you in the event of a downturn, so make sure that the rents from both sides are more than enough to cover the note and you'll be golden (since you wont want to live in a duplex forever). 

@Peter FuentesLike many people who have a newly found interest in real estate investing, you are looking for the shortcut, easy way, the goose that laid the golden egg.I would try educating yourself about the industry, picking a strategy that you can make a billion dollars doing so, figure out how you can get the this point, make a plan of action and then follow it.I will tell you that from my experience there is no short cut, there is no magic answer, there is no easy way to make a billion dollars. 

I started up a new tradition with my partner on this deal with a "golden hammer" with the property address on it.
