Plus, its worth noting that no Retail Priced property will be at a number where you're going to get the benefits of investing (cash flow and equity)What is working now is looking for single family with accessory units or mother-in-law suites, or duplexes.

Check out building an ADU(accessory dwelling unit). 

Anyone know of a home owner's insurance company covering Lansing Michigan area for a 4 unit with additional accessory unit for a rental built in 1917 ?

We currently are under contract to buy a .3 acre lot in downtown that is in a frequent transit area, which means we are allowed to build two accessory dwelling units on the lot. we are also zoned for a duplex, so that’s the plan!

Do you also agree that Juul is not to blame and that the naive high schoolers ShOuLd HaVe KnOwN tHe RiSks Of VaPiNg?

Hi All -A bill was recently passed to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) (<900 SF) to be built by-right in single-family zoning districts.https://www.mass.gov/info-details/accessory-dwelling-unitsMy understanding is that you could buy a single family home and build an ADU on it and rent it out. 

Great time to explore ADU's considereing recent legislature: https://www.mass.gov/info-details/accessory-dwelling-unitsWould love to connect!

I could get stuck with a house full of substandard furniture and accessories that I need to deal with.

In general you should start looking for a single family house that has zoning regulations that allows to ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) or can be setup to house hack. 

Live in one unit , rent out other unit and accessory unit, mortgage on the property would be about $6800, rental income would be : $3000 from additional unit , and $1500 from accessory unit and I would be occupying one unit , leaving me at negative $2300 per month .
