I have been looking at duplexes in the tampa area (strictly for investment, I live in Colorado), I don't think small unit multifamily will slow down by any means in the Florida area. 

Ideally, we'd love to find a duplex or multi-family property with the potential to live in and rent out.

All of those issues you listed could have even more major underlying issues and if there has been this type of neglience I could imagine what else was over looked behind the walls. 

A duplex / triplex where you house hack w/ the VA loan is a good option if the numbers work.2.

@Isaac SInger, Everyone hits that wall at some point or another. 

For starters, I partnered with a bad wholesaler/contractor on remodeling a duplex in Indianapolis.

Quote from @Jaron Walling: House-hacking and BRRRR go hand-in-hand.

You can buy duplexes from $100-$200k range with COC ranging from 10-18%.

After several inspections and a few deals that didn’t pan out, I was able to lock down a duplex in a high-demand Airbnb area.

The last house I bought, was brought to me off-market by my agent, and it's seeming that off-market is the only way to get good properties without the MLS prices.I've recently got a nice business card printed up, and would like to start a direct mailer campaign, using BatchLeads to find multifamily properties in the local towns that I wish to invest in.I have a pretty strict criteria about what I'm looking to purchase at this time:-Legal 2-or-more unit large Multifamily (not required to be owner occupied)-Each unit should be at least 3 bedrooms (so if it's a duplex, it needs to be 6+ bedrooms)-Sewer (not septic)-Gas (not oil)A lot of this information is not readily available online, so once I start my mailers, I'm sure I'm going to find people who eventually respond, but that don't have criteria which match what I'm looking for.I feel like it would be a waste if I paid a bunch of money for direct mailers, and then someone reaches out to me to sell, but their house doesn't match the criteria of what I'm looking for -- I don't know anything about wholesaling.What can I do to monetize these leads, or is the answer is that I need to learn So we believe no lead is a bad lead.
