I currently have one rental property (primary residence turned rental) and this will be my true investment property purchase and wanted to make sure I'm on the right track.Anyway, my agent who is also a builder/investor is selling his 3 years old duplex (1450 sq ft, 3bd/2ba per unit) , built ground up with all new/relatively high end amenities (tiled bath, quartz tops, custom kitchen, laminate everywhere). 

So I began to wonder the below...1) Is it still worth it to buy the multi family and "househack" even though I will still have to lay out cash for the monthly expenses2) Is the headache of tenants not worth it in this case?
