With the budget mentioned, you can find single family rentals in Columbus and duplexes in Cleveland under 200k.

I doubt its a problem because if you told them a duplex im sure they assume you will be living in one and renting the other but its better to check.

As a new investor, focusing on these can give you a solid foundation to grow your portfolio.I’m primarily focused on the Indianapolis market, where we specialize in new build duplexes that offer strong returns and stable rental income.

Quote from @Leo Alvarado: Hey guys, I am currently in the process of closing on a two unit duplex that I will be occupying while renting out the other unit.

@Joshua Morency I started out by househacking a 3 bedroom rental allowing me to basically live rent free for a few years while I saved up enough money to buy a condo.

Each unit is individually owned, with some owners holding multiple units.A few things I’m trying to understand better:Pros and Cons: What are the main benefits and challenges of owning multiple units in a property like this with a condo setup?

I was told it's more difficult to find tenants for smaller multi-units(duplex, triplex, etc.) due to compatibility, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.
