In that range you should be able to find a duplex & maybe even a triplex in the West End. 

.✅ Allows You to House Hack a Single-Family Home – No need to compete for pricey duplexes and triplexes!

Things definitely change once you're married but if you don't have any kids and your wife is open to it you may want to try finding a duplex, triplex or quadplex to buy as a primary.

I’m actively seeking to purchase either a multi-family or duplex unit in the Columbus area  for a medium rehab project. 

Purchase price: $600,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Purchased single family home, finished basement making the property a duplex.

I would rent or sell that condo and buy a duplex in a class A or B location in KC.

I’m here because I’m interested in investing in small multi family units, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes.

Areas with good rental demand or up-and-coming properties could give you more predictable returns.Do you already have a type of property in mind—like single-family homes, or are you considering duplexes, condos, or other types of flips?

Nobody ever went broke over a duplex, I know this now,  but I have to admit I had some serious doubts about this when I started 16 years ago, I bought every course I could find, already on CD's, this was post cassette tapes lol, and I paid RichDad Education for a one year coaching program (turned out my coach was a girl in a call center without any actual experience). 

I have 23 properties in Kenosha and earlier this year purchased two duplexes in Racine.
