So I became obsessed with rental producing properties...When we were looking for a long term home for our family in 2010, I stubbornly insisted that we focus on duplexes or single family homes with accessory apartments.Single families with accessories was specifically what I wanted to target because of the lending programs that allow only 5% down as opposed to 20-25% down.We found this home in Essex Junction.  

I'd recommend looking into the SFR's with accessory apartments.

The theme of the accessories was tribal patterns layered with natural textures.
