What are your thoughts so far on this type of investment property considering its a 2 in 1 lot/ half commercial half residential? 

The easiest way is to call your agent and get them to give you a quote.

Two and a half years ago my wife and I bought a fixer SFR for $450k in a neighborhood where houses rarely sell for less than a million.

She should get half of the commission if she brings a buyer to the selling agent and they close.

You can always rent something smaller for half the price.It’s not always easy to find a tenant who will rent long term home like that, but does not mean it’s impossible.

I think house hacking is a great way to get your feet wet in rental investing, especially if you can find a duplex or so and live in one half and rent out the other half.

I am about half way to FI.

This was a turn-key property that needed light rehab and a tenant was found in 1 and half weeks.Hopefully with proper screening and background checks my risk is mitigated for the future on repairs.

The easiest way to check that box is with a salaried position for at least two years, but it's not always the only way.
