I love to purchase simple 3/2 homes that are a little older in good areas with somewhat newer mechanicals, HVAC, Roofs, etc. 

A duplex is a great way to get your feet wet in multifamily investing, giving you two rental incomes under one roof, which can be a great balance between cash flow and passive income.I’d also suggest looking at markets that offer solid rental returns.

If the seller is still on the property after you close (you negotiated delayed possession), I wouldn't be opposed to doing exterior work (roof, landscaping, concrete, etc.), but I wouldn't do any interior work.

Because I'm buying at such a good price, the seller will not pay for the roof.

This included installing new tile flooring at the front of the house to enhance curb appeal, upgrading the electrical panels for safety and efficiency, and putting on a new roof to ensure long-term durability.

The building is in great condition with a new roof and is professionally managed.

we have changed out the carpet and paint as the tenant moved out, replaced the roof, and built a fence in the back What was the outcome?

How old is the roof? 

How much would it cost to build a 6 shipping container with only doing, insulation, wiring, plumbing, roof.

The house was a hoarder house and needed a large amount of work (Roof including plywood, facia boards, soffit, gutters, underground plumbing, outdoor deck, all windows, doors, flooring, bathrooms, half the sheetrock, retaining walls, etc.)
