I'm currently purchasing my first duplex this month to start house hacking to put my foot in the door of real estate.

Interior features include 9-foot ceilings, eat-in kitchens with Energy Star rated Kenmore stainless-steel appliances, spacious pantries, granite or quartz countertops with undermounted sinks and premium Kohler plumbing fixtures, custom cabinets, in-suite full-size washer/dryers.

I didn’t want to make any changes and shoot myself in the foot.

Prior to passing she asked if I would allow him to stay for a short time to get this footing.

I suggest working somewhere in the field and getting your foot in the door and taking it from there.

Looking at MLS for deals and reading the BP books.DMV area is super expensive and I really want to start on the right foot by creating passive income with my 1st investment (duplex,tri,four).Can some one help by making examples running the numbers on properties from DMV area?

@Osazee Edebiri I wonder if that is what we call a "limiting believe" - I have rented units in Jannuary in Milwaukee - with a foot of snow on the ground and temperatures around zero.

@Seth Tandett because you are looking for a commercial developer you are dealing with a much smaller subset of people, and most commercial developments are run by corporations not individuals so you'll have a tougher time getting your foot in the door. 

You can find neglected storage properties for $15-25 per square foot....fill em up and then sell for 7-9 CAP which often equates to $50-60 per square foot!

What are your construction costs per square foot or per unit, roughly?
