Perhaps I have an odd case but I paid $1.35M or $455 / sq ft for a 3,000 sq ft duplex on a 7,000 sq ft lot in Los Feliz.Once I add the ADU complex, which will be around $350K, it will be a quadplex, 4,600 sq ft of living space. 

Can you buy a duplex in Arkansas and live in one side just to get your feet wet and make sure you like the area?

Maybe you should give it a go as well.Jay would need to have his assistant do that. :) WEll the nice folks at BP help me with all my back end things that i need to get done they have set up my entire whatever you call it.. 

Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to assist!

In fact, come to the USA and live off of those of us who pay taxes.

Quote from @Nilusha Jayasinghe: Hey all, I'm a smalltime investor currently living in a flat of a Chicago 2-flat while renting the other out, and also have a SFH rental in OH. 

You really should never leverage the home you live in.

Is this a LT residential interest or more like a shared sober house living situation?
