Good luck with that behind a wall.

I am currently closing on a duplex that will be cash flowing only $150/mo to start but will build rapid equity.

To build and diversify, I’d recommend starting small—maybe a duplex or triplex—to get a feel for managing property.

I currently own just one property (a duplex) and it is owner-occupied, I live in one unit and my tenants rent the other unit from me.

I, like you run my firs duplex with the same culture of focusing on customer service.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

I think my ideal investment is a fix up duplex.

So in the case of a duplex house hack, live in one unit, airbnb out the other - the property is only 50% rental, not > 50%.

We had our 3-year township CO inspection today and were told that we need to have smoke / CO detectors that alerted both sixes of a duplex property. 

My goal is to scale up over the next few years and add another 10-20 doors.I ran across someone that is saying they are building quadplexes in the same town in Texas as my current rentals there, so I have some support system there.High level this is the idea on the deal:4 units constructed as 2 duplexes on one parcel.1250sqf 3/2/1 units$650k sale price, CME is $820k according to builder, will have a independent CME done if/as I move forward.Rent per unit is $1750 based on the other quad in the developmentBest guess at this point is about $16k/year cash flow at a 9.5% cap rate.Builder is a sister company of a established company in a related industry that has done "some" builds before but not a lot.
