Hi, 

I'm new to BP and Real Estate in general. I've been reading and learning a lot and decided to get started in this by buying a duplex and living in one unit while renting out the other. This would be in the Houston TX area or surrounding areas like The Woodlands, Spring, Katy... 

However, I don't have a lot for a down payment so I would probably be buying with another partner. And, I wanted to get some recommendations for:

1) Best place to find duplex under market value

2) Can I use FHA for these types of properties?

3) Would it be better to buy something off-market and fix whatever is needed or buying new construction? 

Also, if anybody here has deals that they want to share and see if we can work together, I would be more than glad to link up. 

I would really appreciate any recommendations here.
