Lots of unexpected road blocks with every flip that you likely won't be prepared for until you come across them.

If you get yourself a SFH w/ a finished basement (with a separate entrance), you can block of the connection point and you've got yourself a noncomplying duplex. 

This would be me and my business partners first flip, we got the home for a great price, however, it’s cinder block construction which we know nothing about.

Block doors, harass the sheriff, burn the police station, courthouse, whatever.

And it was built of concrete block walls, so maybe any other type of remodeling would have been cost prohibitive.Of course I felt there was no opportunity for value-add - the rents were as high as they could be for the units, all considering.

., Well your plan is doable but there's some road blocks you'll want to watch out for. 

I know there are great blocks and streets but don't know them. 

@Mary M.If this is small town as described, I’m guessing a 10 block foot race would get you there and back.I wouldn’t stick a box full of cash in a visible location against the side of a building under any circumstances.

As in don't choose an investment or house hack because it cash flows only to realize later you don't want to live on that block or pick up rent there.There are just a few to get you started.

Notable architectural features include dramatically angled Douglas fir beam ceilings, custom built-in furniture, polished concrete floors with radiant heat, and a fireplace constructed out of interlocking concrete blocks (the only one like it that the architect ever made).
