They are not buying in cities 1,000 miles away from where they live.  

However, with the rates and conditions of any triplexes and fourplexes we could find (we did find one, but it's in the Pendleton Heights suburb of KCMO, so we were worried about it being too dangerous of an area), we were wondering if it's worth it to buy a duplex and rent out the other half to help pay the mortgage, or if it's more worthwhile to rent an apartment and try to save up to buy a residential or commercial MFH later?

I know that i could buy my next multi family property as a primary residence close by move in, rent half live in the other and than rent where i am now which would cash flow upwards of 1k monthly, or i could buy another multi as strictly an investment property out of state which would be a lot cheaper (taxes and cost of property) and a lot more landlord friendly laws than New York, i guess i’m just undecided on which route i want to take and I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of each scenario.

Your host's (Abby's) half-naked profile pic is very off-putting.

For lender provided leads, half of this is the norm.Social media and SEO works, but you have to really niche and be strategic.

It should be about 60k profit, about a month and half, 2 months conservatively, on rehab.

I personally like to buy in towns/neighborhoods in which no new builds are possible within 10 miles because all the land is developed.
