In my area those are either super run down duplexes or in super sketchy areas.My next plan was to try to find a decent single family home with multiple bedrooms and rent out the other rooms, but I wanted to try to avoid the whole roommate situation.My next plan was to try to buy a condo or townhouse because they are cheaper, but then I am paying the entire mortgage myself for about the same price as just renting an apartment.Do any of these ideas sound worth it and possible with only being able to spend a maximum of 7k out of pocket?
