We removed a few walls and made it an open concept home.

I have a duplex and am placing it on the market.

Two duplex = fourplex. 

I would recommend house hacking a local duplex / quadplex if possible.

Hi Steven-Great questions and congratulations on having $100K cash to invest in real estate.Your goals are cash flow, appreciation, and long-term holds.You asked about strategies and suggestions for locations.I would invest in two duplexes so you always have income coming in, in Lansing, MI for about $140,000 each.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2025") and then do it.

The property is a duplex with an ARV (after repair value) of $700,000, making it a strong deal.However, I want to ensure I’m not overlooking any potential red flags.

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

I am targeting duplexes on the same street.  

Finally, I might be novice to alternative investments but to your point, I believe Norada just ran into an economics wall and lost its ability to meet obligations.
