I also thought this area would be a good long term buy and hold, as there is a tremendous amount of investment in the nearby corridor to revitalize it, and it's adjacent to one of the best neighborhoods in the city.

I'm 2.5 miles from one of the busiest tourist airports in FL4. 

I am a first time real estate investor looking the following property : https://www.redfin.com/OR/Forest-Grove/2418-Cedar-Cir-97116/...its a pretty large duplex in Forest Grove OR,  the trick is though, its on a lot zoned for a 4 plex so I am lookinginto house hacking, converting into a triplex, then living in one unit while renting out the remaining two unitsThe left garage has been converted to living space, with a living room, half bath, a laundry room with a sink and some counters/cupboards and a bedroom, it is a part of what was an existing 3bd unitIf I were to acquire the asset, I would first attempt to convert that space into its own unit The line items as I see (be in mind, I am totally new to this) would be to >put up dry wall where the door to the rest of the house is,>add a shower to the half bathroom >install a water heater in the adjacent 3bd unit> install a kitchen in the laundry room, (stove , oven , sink, counter space)>add a shower to the half bath Assuming I can convert it to a 3plex, I could at-least cash flow on my investment after I leave My plan would be to put minimum down payment of 3.5% (FHA loan) that way I can have a decent amount of capital free to do the renovationsThe only concern is when I crunch the numbers to get my ROI, I have no idea how much its going to cost to convert the additional living space to a third unitAny experienced investors here know how I can estimate this before I try to make an offer?

Will say though, that you can be successful investing OOS in Class C rentals if:1) You buy at the right price, using +20% for Vacancy & Tenant Nonperformance2) You build a good team that's transparent and supplies narrated videos for maintenance, annual evaluations, etc.3) You buy in the "better" Class C neighborhoods adjacent to Class B areas, so you catch the overflow from those Class B areas.

Soil type, adjacent land and what they have on them (spraying chemicals or not).

Some other benefits are having a great airport, quick access to 2 cruise ports a high speed train to Miami and East or West coast beaches within an hour.

Additionally, there is a powder room adjacent to the living room.I am keen to understand the market desirability and rental potential of such a layout.

A hot corner property with a drive-thru with adjacent huge traffic counts doesn't sit empty.

Single story with adjacent parking looks well maintained.
