I immediately checked it and it did not open the door, which is what I was expecting, so I took her key, made a copy and brought it right back to her, then continued the inspection. 

Duplexes are just over twice what a single family is.Should I heed her advice and change my focus to a duplex or should I continue with the SFH just to get my feet under me? 

I thought Brandon actually made a great point, aimed at those people who are continually saying, "there is no deals".

Helped me get started and continues to be a resource for me. 

I'd like to establish a good team in the Phoenix Valley and hopefully continue investing in small multi family properties.

What would an agent think if I continually brought leads to them but rarely worked my own deals?

I've been trying to get good deals over the last year or so to continue and grow my portfolio and passive income, but the markets I'm looking in have been overheated and good deals are scarce.

My strategy would be to let it cash flow initially for the next couple of years, and then if the area keeps developing, determine if its worth making substantial improvements to raise the rents significantly.There are definitely some risks with this property: many tenants are on short term leases; and there is the risk that the immediate surrounding area does not continue developing as it has over the past couple of years. 

I think you need to decide if you want to turn this into a business or continue doing one offs every other year. 

Remember you will have to maintain the license and do continuing education to keep the license active.
