Too bad, having only one leg you could have used him to prop up the uppers when you were attaching them to the wall.

My fiance is looking at buying a duplex with an FHA loan.

The floors, walls, entire kitchen, entire bathroom.

Hi BP - I have a couple of leads on multi-family properties in the Denver Metro area that I am working on. There may be a post on this already, but I am having trouble getting a really strong understanding of how this...

My first purchase was a Duplex that was 3 bed, 2000sqft per side, big yard space.

Note a buy n hold investor may be able to pay a little more than a flipper but buy n hold of SFR need a good deal just to approach the ROI that they can get on a duplex to quad.I do not want you to think the 75% rule is always going to hold but I want you to see what sort of purchase could make sense as a wholesale purchaser. 

For some back story I currently am house hacking a duplex with and FHA loan which allows me to keep a close eye next door.

Our current status is we have recently acquired three duplexes.  

Since it is a duplex, and the area might have better vacancy than this, but for budgeting, I like to  use 7-8% vacancy for underwriting.5% Capex - it mentions "Newer", but I would really dig in and see what major systems will need to be replaced in the next 10 years, and back it out from there.

I few of mine are SFH or duplexes, but expect higher rates and shorter terms.
