I am grateful enough to be graduating with no debt and have worked on my credit as well as passively saving cash for downpayment, reserves, closing costs etc.To any experienced investors, I am narrowing my search to relatively turn-key multifamily duplex investments in a great location with minor improvements needed as my first investment property.

Like others have said, do most of your analysis by researching online first, then narrow it down to your favorites and go see those.

I also see a huge upside with all the high paying jobs coming in.Decide on your purchase criteria to help narrow your search.

During that year, save, study the market, network with local investors, learn from them what they are doing to make profit and avoiding, narrow in on a sub-market you'd like to start investing in, and learn that sub-market like the back of your hand so that you know instantly looking at a property in that market what sort of neighborhood it is in, whether or not it is a deal, and what price would make it a great deal  ... that way, you can answer your own question and gain some knowledge and local experience.

Narrow down how I want my systems to work for the business.

I am "giving in" and "making it work", asking questions that solve her narrow world view of "f*ck everyone else who is not me", and seeing the triumph in her eyes.  

If a sweeping bill doesn’t get traction in Congress, there is still a decent chance a narrower tax rate cut will get passed, according to lobbyists and Capitol Hill officials working on tax legislation.To finance such a rate cut, some in Congress have in their sights what’s known as the 1031 exchange provision, which enables sellers of real estate and other assets to defer capital-gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds in “like-kind” properties.

I've narrowed it down to two possible scenarios, either purchase an existing 3-4 unit and do a gut rehab or purchase a 2-4 unit and completely demolish to build a-new.

The margins are too narrow for my tastes.As an example, I have 3 deals in escrow right now.

By having the tenants in there you're greatly narrowing your buyer list, but if you just want to work with investors then I would say go for it.
