Bought this duplex a few years ago and I'm currently house hacking but need more live in space for my family.

This is my first post in the forum as I recently became a BP member :)My husband and I just got a Duplex under contract that requires significant repairs (no structural/foundation work) as it is quite old and has extensive wear and tear. 

I discussed with my sister house hacking and other investment ideas and we looked at duplexes and houses with apts..My sister and her husband have decided to build a home and put an apt int the basement for our parents to live.  

I'd suggest getting a duplex or triplex and live there. 

My wife and i bought a duplex last spring. 

I have a duplex in a quiet neighborhood and have a prospective tenant who sounds very responsible, has good credit and income.  

I agree with what @Nick Kravchuk indicated but would add that I would start with a VA financed detached duplex that has value add opportunity. 

So how do I come up with the numbers that I need to consider as inputs when analyzing a property so that I'm not saying I'm interested in every single duplex that is in my price range and getting the numbers post letting him know the property interests me. 

We had a duplex that went vacant that they never rehabbed and got ready to go back on the market that sat vacant for 6 months while they had it.

I have a house and condo. my background is in business and technology.
