I work with Mogul Realty Group in Edmonton and I literally scour the market day in and day out for suited bungalows and small multi-family.There's a suited duplex that I'm looking at right now (Legal duplex with non-conforming suites in each basement) List : $624kRents : Unit 1,2 $1,350 each Unit 3,4 $950 each = $4,600It cashflows about $1000/month including property managementIt's between and 8-9 cap.
