The bottom floor would be a duplexed unit with a basement.

Best case scenario you downsize into a duplex or triplex and live “rent free” in one of the units.I don’t know your market BUT the biggest risk I’ve ever seen anyone take is NOT taking any

Was doing our final walk-through of a duplex in Irving Park yesterday and there's a really strong, foul smell in the basement that wasn't as noticeable before.  

Maybe nobody wants to lease that empty Toys R Us space to sell widgets ... but it might make sense to build apartments or condos there .

My goal is to purchase a small multi-family (duplex/triplex) or single family home that can be converted into separate living units within 9 months of my work contract ending.

I'm looking to buy a duplex later this year to house hack with.

I have an owner occupied Duplex in St.

Lakewood has a LOT of duplexes but what worries me is how old they are and it is sort of a party city with lots of younger tenants. 

To this point, most of my experience has been with single family houses and a duplex but would consider larger multi unit property's if I could get the financing and the numbers work.

My goals are to start in the greater phoenix area, preferably a duplex or triplex .
