Questions / Considerations when touring / buying a duplex

[Jason Nham]

Hello everyone, I have recently graduated university and I'm looking into investing in my first duplex. I've been looking at listings in the Cincinnati, Ohio area but was wondering what advice/tips you would have for a novice investor when looking at houses and eventually closing a deal. 

Thank you for your time,

Jason

Definitely read the first book in the multi family millionaire. I would look to see if the electric meters are seperate, if the property was originally a duplex(are both sides the same), the market rents in the area vs what the property is being rented at, Do the tenants pay utilities or the owner, are the tenants up to date on payments or will they likely need to be evicted, probably a lot more and full disclosure I do not own any MFR but I am hoping to get into that game soon!
