I sometimes wish i bought a duplex as my first property instead of a SFR but hey.

Personally, if I were you - I'd start out with a house hack on a duplex or even fourplex.

I own a duplex in Englewood, FL, just a 10-minute drive from the beach.

None on ceiling, walls, bathroom, etc.

I am willing to put my money into these cash flowing duplexes, all day long.

For example, I work with investors looking into new construction duplexes in Indianapolis, which offer solid rental returns and less upkeep compared to older properties.

A fantastic Wall Street Journal article reviews the renewed interest in vocational training, manufacturing and hands-on labor fields.

I'm an investor in Beaverton with 1 duplex and soon to be a second duplex. 

You can have your own separate space with a side by side or up/down duplex. 

Purchase price: $179,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Lived in the property for 1 year.Knocked down living room wall, replaced Hvac, floors and gutted and remodeled the kitchen, attic insulation, converted the living room and the dining area into rooms.
