But the rents don't justify it, for example we are renting a 3 bed 2 bath house with a huge backyard in rancho Cordova for 2350/mo, so duplex rents around here are 1800-2200 ballpark.

So I was hoping someone else could benefit from having the big pieces like couches and beds, nice TVs, etc. 

Putting it all together: If I were starting over and looking for a house-hack in Denver, CO today, I'd be looking for a 4 bed / 3 bath property in the $500K - $600K range in an up and coming area (like Aurora near the medical campus).

Also, many PadSplit properties have bedrooms that are created via flex walls that wouldn't meet the definition of a bedroom in an appraisal, so many PadSplit owners may think their property is worth a certain a mount based on a bed count that's not valid. 

If you have four 2-bed/1-bath units with the same appliances, split it four ways and call it a day.

It's a 3 Bed 3 Bath new construction home in which we love the area and think there is going to be a lot of appreciation in the area as it matures.

It sat on 1.5 acres with lots of garden beds and trees.

My current portfolio includes two 3-Bed/2-Bath Single Family's in my home state.

If you're focused on medical travel folks, smaller 1 or 2 bed properties work fine.
