In both scenarios, you are dealing with individual franchisee/business owner, so it's as important to focus on that person as it is the brand and the use. 

And light bulbs.

Work with a good INVESTMENT agent in the area you want to buy in.Here in columbus ohio if you tell me you want 10+% cashflow and value add and have 20K, I'm going to recommend you house hack and put 5% down and do some light cosmetic work while you live on one side for a year in a B-C neighborhood.Not much can go wrong when you buy a 150K duplex that you are living in as long as you run your numbers and do your due diligence :)It won't be a home run but gets your feet wet and you'll learn a lot and buy better and better deals as you go.

We did some remodeling in the vacant one (spent about 8K on floors, painting, new vanity in a bathroom, and redid kitchen that we hired out and my husband is a master electrician so he put in new switches and fixed any lighting issues and a couple other little things) and we put it at market rent.
