Is it doable?

Thanks guys, @Ed Beder I've been struggling to find a duplex in south florida at an doable price, most are $250k+ and rent for about $1,800-$2,300.

As a house-hack, this will not cash flow well -- I’ll need to pay about $350/mo to budget for maintenance and the like, totally doable.

@Brian Garlington yes my PM thinks $1,600/mo is doable maybe $1,650/mo max.

Later is doable, but harder.In the overall, like with all marketing channels, calling is mostly a game of numbers - successful investors are the ones to cover up a lot of ground consistently and manage to follow up their leads until they are ready to sell 

The hard money lenders I know need 65% max LTV so low equity 'easy' deals aren't doable as they only have about 50k in cash

Billie Miller that's good to know it's doable at least.

Is it worth paying a structural engineer to assess to be able to develop a scope and cost estimate, and if the number work out it's do-able?

My plan is to manage the property myself (I currently manage a 100 home affordable housing community).How would someone such as myself begin the process of structing a deal such as this, finding the right team to value the asset, negotiate, finding lenders, etc - especially in a city where I know no one - and putting down as little as possible (preferrably no money down - is that even doable)?

If you're looking at possibly spending $255-$325K on a rental property, then a duplex, triplex, or 4plex would be very doable.
