Go to some real estate meetups/ask friends who they used to buy a house or duplex where you're at, meet some agents and try to narrow down to one that you feel comfortable working with, wouldn't mind having to go and look at places with.

Sneaky duplex is a term I coined and is when you section off part of your home and create a short term rental unit, like a hotel room.

There are a lot of loopholes the city can use to keep people from doing a STR.For example, an up/down duplex.

A cost segregation study was performed on this residential condo in Herndon, VA purchased in 2017 with a depreciable cost basis of $151,518.

So I am managing a condo for rent in Orlando remotely.

We have SFR, some limited number of townhomes and condos, and large apartment complexes. 4 plexes are pretty rare here except in the older central part of the city.

Quote from @Yimma Davila-Castro: Hello,I am new, and I did the house hacking and got a few houses, but I am starting solo and would like to learn more to increase my house portfolio and improve my finances Welcome:  I started with a duplex and went owner occupied for a year. 

They start small, usually with single family or duplexes before expanding.

We're in FW, TX, and building duplexes to hold and rent.

Multi-family units (duplexes, triplexes) allow you to maximize rental income while maintaining some personal space.
