I'm hoping to buy my first property--ideally, a house hack duplex in central Florida--within the next year.

I am looking for multifamily units (ideally 4 plex) that are 1bd/bth or 2bd/1bth per unit. 

Ideally looking in Norfolk but would also consider Virginia Beach, Hampton, or Chesapeake.Thanks!

House hacking would be ideal.

For instance- let's say ideally you'd want to put down 25% and would be very happy with 6% for 5 years with a balloon and a 25 year amortization.

Unlike leads you can order online from a generic website, I can guarantee that the leads I pull are fresh (60 days or less), off market, and I use a ranking system to determine which sellers are most motivated based off of factors such as the executor of the property living in a different state and the amount of siblings the house has been inherited by.

I would ideally apply that strategy to single-family homes to start, then transition to multi-family properties.

I'm reading up on several books on the hold strategy and everything I can find online.

I hope there’s no one working who’d be dumb enough to bad mouth their boss on a blog, but you never know. Read this and just picture the auditorium of kids sweating bullets over the thought of what’s on their MySpace ...

What’s a fair ballpark figure for a real estate attorney to charge for supervising my process of finding a tenant; over looking the section 8 contract and my own lease contract/documentations with the tenant; I’ll be using the online tools for application, credit report / background check and customized lease contract.
