Multiunit for Family

[Anthony Ross]

We're a young family looking to buy a multi-unit (2-4) units anywhere in the triangle that is safe and ideally in a well defined neighborhood.  I've been searching for just about 2 years, the closest we've come to getting one was a bidding war on a duplex near Duke (we lost - by a lot).

This would be our first home and I'm wondering if any of the folks at BP have some suggestions for us? I've given multiple "go getter" realtors a try but so far, we're all circling on the same MLS alerts.  This will be our primary residence so we're looking for more than just cash flow.
