Nice buy! You are local so driving 9 miles to see your house and the neighborhood every weekend if you wanted to isn't a problem.  

At that price I think it is well worth the experiment.  

Hopefully this one works out well for you.  

Keep us updated!

"my girlfriend does not want to live in this duplex for any longer than two years"

Let me give you some life experience advice: The real estate game is hard enough in itself.  If you have a wife, girlfriend, significant other, or someone else that has influence on your plan, then BOTH of you need to be on the same plan.

If you two are not then your plan and relationship could be strained beyond capacity.

I would suggest you and girlfriend work out your together plan and both buy in to the same plan because this game could easily lead you down the path of pointing fingers at each other and ruining your relationship.

Once you settle that then I believe you will have a better base to begin.

My point is don't get into something together and then say my girlfriend doesn't want to do something.

If you are together then it has to be WE or it will put undue stress on an already stressful situation.

My 2 cents.

Life can teach you alot (49 years old, property investor, married 27 years, father of kids your age)

Good luck!!!

Nice Paula! At 21 you are way ahead of the game.  Now that you have the first one under your belt you can look forward to the next.

Good luck!

@Zechariah Campbell

This sounds like a gimmick to me.

800 credit

W-2 income to qualify for mortgage amount

Last 2 years tax returns showing the income

Money for down payment in bank

3 to 6 months reserves in bank account for 6 months

This is all the certification I have ever needed to be legit!

"My goal is to have repeatable success"

In order for a process to be repeatable, all the variables or steps need to be constant.

In your process there are too many unknown variables which make it unrepeatable consistently.

But it is a well thought through plan if you can get it to work. 

Good luck!

@Steven Quinones

The experience you gained by doing the research and showing up is worth your time.  Now you have a realistic view of the process and the prices.

That is 100% better than the person who is sitting behind a keyboard playing fantasy real estate investor!

Keep up your hard work, keep learning and not being afraid to experience the process.

Good luck in your future investing journey!!!!
