What cap rate, etc should I aim for?
Hello, I'm considering buying a duplex in Ft Wayne.
I'm wondering what cap rate, COC return, IRR, etc I should try to get.
Thanks.

Cap Rate is a term only relevant to commercial properties. You can ignore it on a duplex. It is meaningless.
IRR is a term used by people selling an investment to others. You can try to calculate that, but it isn't important unless your guesses are correct.
That leaves you with CoC. Figure out what is a meaningful return to you.
