How many people have the idea of buying a duplex to live in one side and rent out the other?

When it comes to the 203k, just make sure you have a contractor start date scheduled, and be sure to contact your consultant (if you have one and its not a 203k limited) to get the first draw scheduled. 

Or should I really narrow it down to one?

I had two in a renter friendly state previously (one went without a hitch, the second not so much), I wouldn't look to repeat that experience.  

@Sean Dillon figure out how to buy a 2-4 unit with FHA loan.Then rent at least one of the units long-term for stable cashflow.Try STR in another unit as well as the other bedrooms in the unit you live in.You may even consider living in the basement, attic or worse unit in the building to rent everything else out and max cashflow. 

I sold one fairly quickly for a profit, only because it didn't quite fit my portfolio.

Congratulations to myself on this one.Unto the next one!

no one is going to play that role if you don't.

It's one of the last few "affordable" areas near downtown Denver.Are you buying as a primary residence, looking to house-hack with the studio out back? 

Realtor and Title company were very aware there was an ADU. thank you so much.Neither one of whom (realtor, title company), pass judgement on the legality or code compliance of an ADU.
