I'm no pro, but my first property was a 4000 square foot assisted living facility (with 16 beds in 8 bedrooms) in Philadelphia on the border of a warzone and I bought it in 2009.

Then i looked for the houses that fit my criteria (3 bed 2 bath SFH or duplex mostly and some more, some less).

What if you move in with one bed and not rent out for one year?

Three levels (Basement, Living/Kitchen, Bedroom), three beds, 2 baths, off-street parking for 2 cars.  

They are mostly 1-2 bed 1bath set ups.

It sits about 500 feet off the road and it's pretty quiet.Each side is 3 bed / 2 bath.

Start by trying to find anything same bed / bath count of subject property, +/- 10 years built, +/- 100sqft, ~mile or so distance.

. $980k, 5-bed / 3-ba, built in 1959.
