Duplex/triplex-House Hacking-How 2 find these types of properties
I've read several BP books, and other a like...and there is constantly the "House Hacking" strategy involving duplex's and triplex's. I realize the serious advantage to starting out like this, but haven't been able to find a single triplex or duplex in my area (Washington D.C. Metro Area)

Thanks,
Joe
