Indiana has several markets that can hit the 1% rule, particularly with duplexes and small multi-family properties.

What factors should I prioritize when choosing the best approach for my future success in real estate? 

Multi Family is much more heavy on the income numbers.

I’m currently selling my main house and wanted to house hack but the only multi family properties coming on the market are like $1.2 million for a duplex and it just doesn’t math :/ Home prices here have always seemed to be higher than most areas. 

I get bombarded with inquiries and have lots to choose from.

I dealt with this exact scenario last week with one of my tenants in a multi-family.Most often, tenants and neighbors are timid and not wanting to call the police.

@Michael BertschAs a general rule, we only leave a fireplace functional unless it has a sealed, externally vented, gas insert ... and, even then we may disconnect it.Check with your insurance provider and see how unhappy a functional fireplace in a rental makes them.

If they choose to dig in and fight, I watch them like a hawk and document every infraction until I have enough to get rid of them.

1️⃣ Househacking a Multi-Family (2-4 Units):This is how I started with a 3 family outside of Hartford CT—and how many of our clients in expensive markets do, too.
