@Igor AvratinerIn my case, these were developments of basically identical 4-plexes with the same layout, square footage, etc.

What is the kitchen layout like...

After answering that question countless times, I thought I'd lay out the pros and cons of each market for you here to consider if you find yourself in these same shoes.SACRAMENTO VS.

The property has several gas easements on it, but we've figured out the ideal layout... for now.

I own 3 duplexes and am in contract for 2 more in the same neighborhood and same building layout.

Below is the layout for reference. 

Since this would be your first deal, lay out the numbers and your evaluation of the numbers and let the community critique your analysis. 

This option works especially well if the home has an open concept layout.

For an apartment I would make the doors bigger than the 24" and go with a sliding door at least 30" in the opening.Concrete with a broom finish, and extend the walls up for privacy from the adjoining unit, as well as add a roof.Omit one light and add a GFCI outlet in a waterproof box (to code).BBQ not allowed on patio so close to structure (not staged with a BBQ at all).That's looking at it as an offering without running numbers, but the 24" doors are not for people who like to eat a lot, and may repel a number of rental prospects who cannot fit through them comfortably (watch your floor plan for these skinny doorways).Ideally I would like to have a storage closet out here (4' to 6 feet deep) the length of the patio, but with this layout I do not see that happening.Just my 2 cents.

MF thou, less of them and finding a quality one, considering location, upkeep, layout of property it gets harder to find.
