On the same street you could have a 1200 SF one story hip roof house with a detached garage needing a roof replacement.

I look for $150 per door after i move out in net profit each month.

Hard work man...Calling your sphere, call arounds for other listings, door knocking, open houses, networking events, social media, forums like these, etc etc. 

Lets take a quick look at the numbers on the house hack duplex:Purchase price: $160,000Renovation budget: $21,000ARV: $215,000 Rents: First floor: $1,250 before being fixed up, but i am occupying and its already fixed up.Second floor: $850Three garage bays: $95/each Total expenses after re-fi (PITI): $1,815 (NJ taxes are unreal!)

Today, someone told my fiance that the space between the door and the peninsula isn't enough space and would be against code.  

When I see a for sale by owner or I see a building that interests me, I simply knock on the door and ask to speak with the owner. 

It's like a free neighborhood garage sale. 

I did find a SF-2, and it doesn't even allow garage apartments to be a separate dwelling unit.

So then I get a call from an electrical contractor stating that the unit next door is having some issues with their power and they have located that the problem is under my deck, and they will need to remove boards, dig it up, and do a repair.However, a couple of small twists in the story make me nervous.One is that apparently the homeowners are responsible for the maintenance of the power line from from the transformer, so it’s not the association with deeper pockets who is on the hook, its the nieghbor .
