Thanks for the info. I think we're staying away from the duplex (and rougher neighborhoods). We like the nicer single family houses in the Owasso area, and I think we'll stick with that.  This is a part-time gig for us, so low maintenance/work is a priority.  

Thanks for the input.  We have had good success with the single family homes in the suburbs and will likely stick with that route for now.  I agree with your comments about the higher valuations and the age of the duplexes - which I see as downsides.  Thanks!! 

I am looking at a duplex in south Tulsa, OK, as a potential rental property. Can any other investors/landlords provide feedback on how duplexes compare with single family houses in the Tulsa area?  Do you find tenants are shorter term, more needy, late, better, etc?  Are rents lower than single family houses?  We currently own two single family houses and have good experience with them and the tenants, but are considering duplexes because the numbers look slightly better. 

I appreciate any advice!! Thanks!
