I think that's doable in the next month and half.    

As far as pulling equity from your duplex - totally doable!

If I can find something like this that appears doable even with 0% down then I have to imagine other stuff will come up too so I think this can still be done, just have to get stuff at the right price.  

Hello @Sufyan Minhas,What you have in mind is doable.

Also, would getting a HELOC so soon after be do-able?

@Max NathanInvesting in Alabama from Miami is absolutely doable with the right preparation.

That being said, this is mainly doable for folks taking on cosmetic rehabs with great time management/construction management skills.

@Shwetha Pindikuri,Assuming an FHA loan with a second mortgage can be tricky, but it’s definitely doable with the right lender.

X a month sounds a lot better and is actually doable for a lot of people vs a big pile of cash today if you need a full cash sale. 

For an unrenovated 1+Den/1BA LTR in our section of Northeast though, $1,300-1,400/month is certainly in the ballpark of what I could comfortably get with some very minor improvements to the space between tenants.So all that being said, I think your target of $1,500-1,600/month for your 2BR units would be more than doable.
