As such, in an effort to satisfy my own curiosity, is it ridiculous for me to consider cross-collateralizing two vehicles to secure a loan and get started with a house-hackable duplex or other small investment property?

I think investors overpaid...some bought from seminars local realtors would take to California to sell brand new golf course community homes or old apartments in excellent school areas “renovated” into condos and sold for more than the single family 3-2-2s down the street.

I need a cheap but honest AC repair or replacement in Modesto for a fix and flip condo.

When comparing (CMA) multifamilies, for example a duplex, do you compare them to other duplexes?

You can get a duplex there for about 150K, live on one side and rent other side.

I'm currently under contract for a set of 3 duplexes on a single lot zoned commercially.

In my (very small) city there are exactly 0 duplexes (or any multi family’s) on MLS.

I have a highrise condo under contract.

I bought my first condo this past january (8 months ago).

It is a duplex with a 3-2 downstairs, 2-1 upstairs (and second living room).
