If you are looking to flip a duplex while house hacking it, it’s not going to get as much interest and, aruably, appreciation as a single family home.

an HVAC contractor bid and tried to price two single units (at twice the installation cost of one)    The way I am going to set up mine with a single outside unit with two interior units (dual zone)

I made my first offer on a house I can barely afford as a primary resident (3bd, 1.5ba close to Tufts University), I am glad the owners went with another offer, I would of paid close to 2.5k a month in "rent" for a single room assuming I rented out the other rooms at a near optimal price.

-Would you buy 1 single family home ? 

Hello, I've recently rented out one of my properties to a single family.

My partners and I have 75 units in Birmingham and several single family properties in the Huntsville MSA.

But I would think that either a family would take the apartment (husband wife and two children) or college students and single professionals willing to roommate with each other.
