Here is a great resource. https://www.areavibes.com/They give you a total livability score and you can type any address in 

I can get $7000 rental income per month total.

That’s great advice Taz, I’m currently working on saving enough money to get started, house hacking is hard for me at the moment because I just bought a house 2 years ago, I would have to sell my house(which is in a great neighborhood great location) and use that money to fund the duplex which isn’t totally out of the question, I would like to keep the house if possible but also would like to get real estate investing more.

So if we go w/ the $700K purchase price of the new rental (paid in cash from the proceeds), that leaves them w/ $300K to pay capital gain on, @15%, totaling $45K. 

So, if you put in 20K, you could set the bid up to the amount of the 100K total debt(80K existing + 20K additional) to ensure that the property reverts to you as the lender.

For a 90-unit project, this could result in a tax credit of $180,000, and for a 112-unit project, the tax credit could total $224,000.

They will issue an IRS Form 1099 in January, reporting your total taxable income to you and the IRS.

Quote from @Diandre Pierce: I have 7 rentals with a total available equity of roughly 800K.

Quote from @Ryan Brown: Quote from @Mohammed Rahman: Hey, I totally get where you're coming from.

But I agree totally that it is an incredibly powerful vehicle to build wealth without having to put very much money down.
