I am open to the idea of building a duplex or purchasing a preexisting home.

I gained enough knowledge that I have bought 5 duplexes and 3 SFR's (Memphis).  

I recently just purchased a duplex and plan to rent out one side for section 8/VA VASH program.

Household furniture must be positioned and/or elevated to allow adequate air flow underneath and between furnishings and adjacent walls.

I was told it's more difficult to find tenants for smaller multi-units(duplex, triplex, etc.) due to compatibility, but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

Removing a wall could add value to the home in theory, but for some rental areas, having extra rooms helps.

I am looking to by a Duplex in Tucson.

With the budget mentioned, you can find single family rentals in Columbus and duplexes in Cleveland under 200k.

Interest is 18%.for a total of 30.5k in debt.current financial status:1k emergency fund.1k in reserves outside of that.6 month plan:I'm going to japan in march with my sister so i'm currently reserving my money to do cool things in japan as it was my personal incentive to get my *** into gear and get my life together.after that trip i'm planning to tackle my debt in order of highest interest rate to lowest interest rate.I believe i can comfortable put 2500 a month into my finances. so i expect to be able to be debt free roughly a year from march.After that: im planning on parking my money into the smp 500 to help it grow until i have enough money for a downpayment on a duplex to a quadplex and doing the houshacking strategy yall talk about.

I started with a SF, moved up to a duplex and now I'm planning to go bigger.
