By the way, instead of a duplex, you might be able to find a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit to use as a rental.

I also charge tenants for all utilities including electric, sewer, water, trash, internet, landscaping, and even garage covered parking(which is coveted here in the Arizona summers). 

Besides this option, are you also open for a house hack (finish of a basement, Accessory dwell unit, mother-in-law, .....)If you are open for the two options, you will have more houses to choose from.Always open to more conversation over phone or coffee if that's helpful!

My original goal was to reach the coveted 6 figure "passive" income mark.  

I explain that on my condo, house and accessory dwelling unit alone here in Los Angeles will net approximately $100,000/year with 3% appreciation in 30 years.   

I would have to grind through a lot of junk leads before getting to the covetted Leads and Listings that the most experienced Agents get from their connections or from the Brokerage Firm as the Firm wants their best Closers to work on these more lucrative leads.

I primarily sell in Massachusetts, i sell other items (roofing, car charger, mini split heat pumps, battery storage, smart home items through freedom forever, other accessories through partners on the Powur platform.) as well.I joined the form because this is just an abundance of high value information thats collected on here, and this information will be crucial in my wealth building journey.

House hack may be by finishing a garage, get Accessory Dwell Unit (ADU), Monther in Law (MIL), Duplex, Triplex, Fourplex, ....House hack a property will allow you to put way less money down (5%).Some neighborhoods in Seattle and Tacoma are pretty good.

@Kirbi Campbell Add 10 single family homes to my portfolio at 60% ltv or lessMy method, look for municipalities that allow detached accessory dwellings as an investor and either buy properties that have accessory dwellings already or build them.Basically, a twofer model :)
