If you're willing to be live in one half and rent out the other then you'll have a better ability to make it work out for you.We've focused on finding distressed properties and then flipping them, but we're able to make the numbers work since we do a lot of the rehab ourselves.If you have any questions feel free to message me!

If you're interested feel free to give me a call and I can try to answer more of your questions. 

If people are getting free electricity and water, they tend to be a little less frugal :) .Then check on insurance costs for a MFH and add that to your projections.Finally, talk to your contractors and see what requires permits, what their experience has been in getting them to pass inspections, the timeline and the cost.Factor all of these into the decision to move forward or leave as is - maybe advertise it as a 4/1 with a home office with outside access and get more rent that way.One last point - I hope that the addition you mentioned was done with permits and is reflected on the tax rolls because if not, you may open a can of worms you wish you had not.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you would like to discuss!
