Excited to find my first real estate deal

[Fred Ewert]

7 days ago I didn't know about the serious cash flow potential I can gain by buying a duplex and house hacking. Someone in my business niche made me open my eyes to REI and I have been studying every free hour I have. With that said, I need to move soon and I don't want to rent as my old plan was going to have me do.

How realistic is it for someone like me to obtain a Fair to OK deal (my expectations are low since I have no connections or experience). My goal is a duplex that I can live in and have a little cash flow from the property on top of being rent free.

Good news is I hear Indy is one of the top cash flow cities in the country. From my limited searches though i struggle to see a 1% property so far on Zillow, Realtor, and the like. Can you set my expectations for me a bit? Thank you!
