This family came in that day loved the house, and walked around and around..

I am a real estate broker (specializing in multi family) and an investor in the Cincinnati market. 

My family has a family farm consisting of 3 parcels of land. 2 parcels are owned free and clear.

Our family of 3 plan to live in one unit and rent out the other.

While I am wanting to buy a property in this area within the next 6 months rather than rent, I’m lost on if I should HH or look for a distressed single family home I can rehab while I live in it to force appreciation this way?

Thinking that going in to business with family was a good idea.
