I will consider taking this route though especially if I can’t find a duplex in my budget. 

Quote from @Joshua Land: Look to learn, and hopefully implement converting my duplex into an assisted living center.

Hi all - I own and manage three duplexes in the Boston area (Medford).

We're currently deciding whether we'll want to go with a BRRRR vs. turnkey duplexes.

Do you see yourself holding this duplex for 10+ years, or are you considering other investment types moving forward?

We have a duplex in Norfolk that we house hacked. 

I've been looking at duplexes and tri plexes but nothing has panned out yet.

Although when I take my morning walks I snap a few photos to show friends they are much tidier than mainland homeless  MUCH.. but they are all over Honolulu and the Park across from Ala Moana shopping center.. so you have 5 mil condos and homeless.. and then every day there are 5 to 10 wedding photo shoots ( young Japanese couples) where the homeless are camped out. 

The ability to turn single-family lots into duplexes or even split lots for separate units can significantly boost rental income and property value.

I was able to get a HELOC on the first one for 90K because it was a condo in Florida and doubled in value (has since crashed).
