You should focus on duplexes in Huntsville for a house hack" - Jane in Montana;  great, except there are an incredibly few duplexes in Huntsville"Hazel Green is an easy commute from Huntsville and shouldn't affect your rental prospects" - Joe in Chicago. 

They seem mostly suited for off-site wall segments production and I have to wonder about the economic viability in real-world projects. 

You say you're finishing out the basement, is there any chance to divide this property into an up down duplex?

I just closed on a duplex in Dayton for $189K $1100 a door and have an investor closing on a 4 unit for $325K in Indy with great rents that cash flow over $1000 a month.I have seen Indiana, & Ohio pick up some major heat over the last 3 years for investors while Boise falls somewhat short.

If I were to choose between those two for those walls, I would go with Alabaster, which is slightly warmer and darker.

Also you can look at it as diversification with one side of the duplex section 8 and the other not. 

I'm a product of BP through and through, was on these forums figuring out how to house hack after we already were in contract on a duplex, all the way through making it the foundation of my current business. 

Looking at lots listed for 15-25k in Texas satellite towns to initially hold then eventually build class A/B duplexes. 

Run comps on duplex, 3-unit, 4-units, etc.

Rarely would I consider a duplex (although I do own one).
