@Jennifer Edwards we charged $110 a night for 3 bedroom 2 bath property in walking distance to lake completely renovated property.

I have a $1M policy on my vacation rental and sleep just fine at night.

I got a plumber and water restoration folks out there that night.  

There’s one tonight and tomorrow night, both in Troy.

We are not; in fact, March is shaping up to be a record month for nights rented.

(I didnt dive into the number)

Without diving deep into the numbers, yes I personally think a Duplex is a nice way to house hack. 

Take a deep dive into the property you mention the BRRRR method, make sure you are factoring in the repairs and holding cost into your analysis and have a firm grasp of the after repair value.The more time you spend on getting deep into the numbers before you acquire the property the smoother it will go make sure you are doing your due diligence and dedicate the time to understanding the numbers before you pull the trigger.

It wasn't until I spent over a year learning from him that I felt comfortable enough to dive in and buy my first property.

I just did a brief look at what you can get in rent right now for July it looks like prices range from 150-300 a night.
