Yes, I keep track of prices at the big box stores and set a conservative budget on each project.

In my opinion this sounds like a substantial investment, and there are plenty of solid multi-family renters in the following markets:DearbornDearborn Heights Melvindale Westland& other cities immediately North, East, or West, of Detroit You're spot on about renters paying less for a duplex over a SFH but as you progress in the multi-family market you'll notice the differences aren't much if you choose the right property, construction finishes/overhead, tenant screening processes. 

Ranging from rental multi-family homes as well as commercial properties.

I am a realtor and have a buyer looking for a multi-family apartment complex.
