Consult with a broker who specializes in small multifamily acquisitions and has a pulse in the plex market. You sound like a great candidate for an owner occupied multifamily property. You can force more appreciation in an income producing property and as you accumulate more wealth and continue to look for projects you will have subsidized housing costs and options. You could always move and just turn the duplex into a rental.
@Roi Horowitz I think it depends on where in FL. The market I am checking, Orlando area, you wouldn't be able to do anything. What you are saying you want to do, is very doable but depends on the area. And realize what you want to do, many others would and are looking at doing the same thing. They have cash to pay for properties, will do zero inspections, etc. So early bird gets the worm kind of thing. I think you need to target an area, do your hw (LOTS OF HW) and determine if the area is capable of sustaining what you want to do.
