I always tell clients do basic updates line new cabinets, sink, stone counters, paint and this can get you a large rent increase plus hopefully some equity.For financing there is a 10% down option that gets you around the self sufficiency test via a local credit union or FHA is popular for the legal 2 units. 

Financing wise, the two most popular options I've come across are FHA and conventional with a low down payment.

They're popular with investors who aren't able to qualify conventionally due to income and other factors. 

Hello BP Forums,Currently looking into stepping into a new area of developing multifamily townhomes in a popular and growing location.

The house ended up with brown tile, brown cabinets, brown countertops, and a shade of brown paint that looked more yellow than it did brown.To my credit, that color palate was more popular at the time, but when I look back at it today it's a bit embarrassing.Going forward I have worked with designers almost ever time.

Contrary to popular belief, investing in mobile homes is an advanced strategy, not a beginners one.

Is this a sector that is not popular or is it that many people have not looked into it? 

It remains popular as an investment and unique as an asset because it has reasonable price appreciation.
