We added some instant value to this one, changing fixtures, adding accent walls, and altering kitchen cabinets.

Over the summer I used a VA loan to purchase a 3br/1b per unit duplex that I'm currently house-hacking, doing a live-in remodel on the second floor with the first floor totally updated and occupied with college students.

I am attempting to purchase a triplex and a duplex on a single 2.5 acre parcel.

While its frustrating as you were told something different, it does not overwrite existing lawsI live in a street that has an easement for the first 15 ft of driveway and we have had several neighbords put in gated entry and brick walls which is in the easement.

Their home in Waldo was also a great deal a Duplex they found for $210K and now getting $1250 a door since it needed renovations.Some advice is be careful with what you by so that you are not paying top dollar or market price for a home that someone just renovated.

My name is Dallas, looking to acquire a duplex or triplex for my first property to house hack.  

Quote from @Evan Price: I purchased a duplex in the Mt.

With $150k you can get into several duplexes.

I successfully operate a small portfolio (3 duplexes and three single families) out of state and a good  property manager is essential.
