We plan to replace with tankless water heaters and in-unit high-velocity small duct central heat and air (using electric baseboard for the garden unit heat), and also remove all the radiators from the building.With the furnace and water heater removed, we would like to knock down the walls dividing the current furnace room, and make one larger rear, which is the bulk of the remodeling work to be done. don't not currently have drawings or architectural plans.

A tenant in one of my duplexes moved out under the cover of darkness late June.

In order to convert the house into three units it will need at least $ 105k in rehab.I believe a savy investor can turn the current property into three units plus develop the two l0ts and build two duplexes or two single family houses ( arv for the area  2/2 130-140k   3/2  160-185).most houses in the areas are rental properties although is a very convenient area close to all major highways, MLB Statium and 15-20 minute drive to city capital (Atlanta). i would like to wholesale this deal  or possibly partner up on the deal.. 

@Jaron Walling thanks.

I am currently house-hacking 1 duplex currently & looking to buy a 2nd before the end of the year.

I'm working on our first BRRR of a Duplex in Concord & I was curious if anyone had experience cash-out refinancing with local banks.

But I would consider splitting that off into the separate unit for a rental when you sell ---  of course you'd want to run the numbers/explore the market to see whether the duplex or SFH would give you the best valuation.In an effort to produce more affordable housing, CA is in favor of garage conversions (amongst other things) to create ADUs ('accessory dwelling units'). 

For me, one of the best spots in St Paul for a new investor is Payne-Phalen: still many sub-200k duplexes (albeit old ones), nice community, and the Payne commercial corridor with awesome businesses such as Toung in Cheek, Caydence coffee, etc.

Im a full time flight attendant and travel with work more than 50% of each month.Id like to buy a duplex out of state, using an FHA loan, and occupy one of the units for the first year. 

I don't know if you can finance a 3-4 unit with it but I do know you can do a  duplex.
