I am finding that duplexes in my area are not exactly in high demand, and therefore are actually priced pretty cheap, if not the same as single-family homes - and most that I am finding already have tenants in one side - what a bonus! 

Can remote STR help us to qualify STR tax benefit. STR in Florida and owner lives in VA. Managing remotely from VA after initial 2 weeks of onsite hours in furnishing property (~80 hrs) after closing in june.And 20+ ...

@Daniel Engstrom Provided that the farm property is eligible for a 1031 exchange, you may want to consider purchasing a property that is considerably higher priced (at least $200k) so you can take advantage of the latest tax regulations which allow 100% bonus depreciation with cost segregation.

If I were to describe it as a single-family home, I would call it a two bedroom one bathroom with storage/laundry in the basement with a large bonus/flex room.

When I've had limited flexibility with price, I've found that offering a buyer's agent bonus or larger buyers agent commission is helpful.
