Since you're an agent, do you have access to the real estate "portals" that send out the automatic emails showing properties that satisfy my selected parameters? 

I'd imagine this is way lower maintenance than my other 2 duplex in the area that are 90 and 120 years old.

Usually a little lower for your primary residence.

Then again the only comp I could find for this went for less than this place.I'm on the fence with this place...If I could get a 50K price reduction from inspection, I'd be more likely to go for it, but as it is, it seems like lower end tenants with attitude, no cash flow, and a lot of risk.

Many can be accessed via meetup.com and doing a local search on Facebook.

Also, we currently have @$30k in liquid funds, do we need access to more than $50K for these types of ventures?

I would like to here from the group whether they offer or are offered lower or higher returns.

We renovated upper unit and currently live in lower unit.

One thing they have that helps them is typically the interest rate charged which is typically lower than other Lenders but I have never heard or have seen any person ***** about the interest rate they were charged and it was responsible for and why they failed. 

This created opportunities for investors.Institutional money prefers lower risk investments which were traditionally A Rated Bonds.
