I got my start in the same thing as you are looking at and I can tell you that inner city duplexes in Indy are NOT sexy at all!  

That kitchen is sexy!

Thanks for your reply Sebastian, yes it is quite uncommon for teens like me to be learning or even being interested in this type of stuff, yet I know it will lead me to financial success.  

I know they aren't a sexy investment like stick built homes, but they can be cash cows.

It's a long-term hold strategy, and the investors are looking for IRRs in the high teens over ten years.  

Now THAT is a sexy bathroom!

That being said, we now have 2 pre-teen boys and things are getting tight and it is time for us to move on but it was good financially and for a learning perspective while it lasted.

The infrastructure isn't there & no matter how smart the new robot-car is, it won't prevent some teen in an '84 Buick from careening into them while texting.

I primarily invest in Kansas City, there are a lot of houses for sale in the 50-60k range that will rent for 800+/month ( I bought two last year, going back for more this year)This is definitely true.Ruskin and Raytown offer similar figures and are B, B- class areas IMO.The odd Ruskin deal does pop up for high teens or low $20s but usually needs quite a bit of work.Thanks and have a great day.

He already has "Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens" and asks to read more.Also, do you think a 7 year old is to young to get started reading these books too?
