It won't cost much to slap up two walls in a corner of the room with a door and a closet rod. 

It will still migrate, just into the ground instead of up through the floor.

If you had the capital for the down payments, reserves, closing costs, etc., would you advise buying 4 SFHs or 2 duplexes.

Also recognize that construction costs will be 2-3x more expensive in this area than they were in Pittsburgh so be careful and make sure to understand pricing before going into a rehab.
