Duplexes seem to be a rare commodity

It seems, as our continual search dredges on, that duplexes are both rare as well as seem to have a lessened appreciation out there. I get it. I see duplex neighborhoods that are nothing shy of a stereotype. I also find them to be evasive like a mythical creature that no one can seem to get a great picture of.

My question and point is this. It almost seems to be a more realistic goal to pursue building a few of them to ‘prove’ their value in my town. Whereas I see them as the hidden gems of real estate. Typically less desirable which keeps the prices low but the landlords who own them don’t seem to mind the state they are in because it’s easy money.

Does anyone have any successful techniques for getting these off market deals. I’m looking for some creativity...not just the mailers and foot signs.
