I looked at a multi family in Asheville, a fixer upper in a place 2 towns away, you name it.Now, as in 30 minutes ago, I think what I'm going to be doing is the fast "test" quick math using the 1-2% test. 

Where in town is your duplex?  

It's a small town so networking is crucial and everyone is just 2 degrees of separation away!.    

People moved out, and decided to move back in when they got bored out of town.

Think about it this way: all the houses in town I DON'T have a contract on?

Hey all,I found a couple of homes in the down town area, both homes are 6rms 3.5 bath, both not listed, at least not yet.

Ask questions about why they are selling, are they moving locally or staying in town, etc.

How do you take the home from what it is today and make it something every home buyer in town wants to buy?

I chose one that's in a small town that looks reputable and experienced and his price was low.
