Looking for a multi unit

Hello,

I currently stay in Northwest Indiana and looking for a multifamily unit to 'HOUSE HACK' but can't find any deals. There are a few lots zoned for duplexes that are available and was wondering if building new would be a good idea. Any suggestions?

Where exactly are you wanting to live? I have a duplex in Crown Point. What is your budget, and how are you financing the deal? Are you willing to do work, or are you looking for turnkey? Connect with me if you want to talk more about it.

Tyler, I can do Crown Point but the property has to be near Merrillville. Yes, I'm willing to get my hands dirty and in regards to the financing, I was going to apply for a VA loan.

@Theo Bandy - have you attempted driving for dollars and contacting the owners?

Jim,

If your Crown Point duplex is below market value, I'd be interested in talking to you about purchasing it.
