You'll have a hard time finding a decent quad for $400K. Anything you find below $400, you probably won't want to live in. I'd focus on a nice duplex. You will not live for free. Most duplexes listed here barely cover costs with both units rented, if they even cover all costs. Obviously, the further you go from the city, the less you'll pay. I've been recommending Franklin Park for this kind of deal recently, though prices in that area has been increasing as well.
