This article today has an OPT IN which I did not do: Millennials & Gen Z want flexibility and affordability, more than a long-term commitment.

I like duplexes as well, yet part of the puzzle is incorporating the 3 affordable housing units (2 bedroom).

Brand new tenants getting divorced and can’t afford rent on their own.

What I mean is...they don't get tenants to over pay and thus the tenants can't afford to stay there long term.

It’s worth exploring in neighborhoods with strong demand for affordable yet flexible housing options.

Here are some reasons out-of-state investors love the Milwaukee market: - Affordability: Compared to larger metropolitan areas, Milwaukee offers relatively low property prices, making it easier for investors to enter the market.- Strong Rental Market: The city has a robust rental market due to a diverse population, including students, young professionals, and families.

Did they get divorced and couldn’t afford things, were they young and learning beyond their means and have now realized it and grew up?

He's needs to lower it down to $200 or $250 so that people can afford to get into the real estate game....

Last question I have is that what should happen in a situation where tenant asks for upgrades that I cannot afford ?

There is a saying, " you really can't get hurt jumping out a basement window" :)  I would rather be all in 250k or less (EVERYONE can afford that) vs 500- 750k, much more " risk" especially in today's market.
