Multi Family is still very hot here and the properties you'll find in that price range are C or D level duplexes. 

However, the level of education your post suggest is not realistic and I do not know how to even get people that would be in this situation to a level of understanding that is suitable.

The level of scrutiny varies by inspector.I would say as long as your contractor is legit and not cutting corners, I wouldn't worry about the city inspection. 

I know how hard it can be out there so I wanted to give back and expand my own skill set at the same time.

@Sarah Lorenz Maybe  a separate level where your master bedroom is so that you can just lock that level and make it inaccessible minimizing how much stuff you have to put away.

The basement is open with a full bath (we recently added during a sewer upgrade); the 1st level contains the kitchen, living, dining, and mud rooms; the 2nd level contains two beds and one full bath; the third level contains two full bedrooms (a large, nicely converted attic). 

If you're affordable and skilled at what you do please message me!

You can test your skill by just looking at the MLS in that area.

I find very few truly wealthy individuals would deal at the street level.. 

However, as long as you use the baseline assumptions accross all properties that you are analysing you will get good information on which is the better investment Obviously reality will be different but this will allow you to hone your skills etc.
