Quote from @Evan Price: I purchased a duplex in the Mt.

Hi Adriana, I have lived in San Francisco many years and owned a duplex there for 20 years. 

I am looking to purchase this investment duplex property which was built prior to 1940.

I would add that you can go a long way just having some clean color schemes (two wall colors and one trim color will do almost any house) and a few tasteful accent pieces. 

At the time my only issue was their loans appear to be backed by wall st.. so the closing docs were enough to kill not one but two trees and took way more time to sign the  whole package then I like to spend signing closing docs :)  But thier fee's and rates are hard to beat. 

Right now the market isn’t that great but I could see us looking to purchase a multifamily duplex however, in the current market, I’m finding it difficult to be able to have one tenant cover the cost for that property to break even.

Given the general importance placed on cash flow, is my line of thinking incorrect and therefore should buy something cheaper or look more into duplex etc?

I am looking to get into investing specifically house hacking and am searching for a small multi fam (duplex, tri, or quad) and haven't found the one yet.
