Hello Everyone!

I m a newbie investors,I been looking for a duplex,triplex to house hacked and this week I found a duplex in Orlando that I'm debating what action to take.

here is the property information..

-Multi-Family Home 4 Bedrooms4 full Bathrooms

-1,736 sqft

-Built in 1986

-Front unit needs work around $6k (floors,a/c and cabinets) tenant pays $575 month

-Back unit is in way better shape but tenant pays $400 since the work on the unit was done by them  (needs minor repairs at  $2k to upgraded)

Seller is asking $110k (property has been trying to sell for  100+days)

I ask my agent to offer $65k but the counter offer came at $75k.......

I think we can get a deal at $70k not 100% sure

I'm undecided on what to do ?

I believe I can buy it and live in one side and rent the other but front unit needs work asap.

-Can I get approved fha even if one of the units needs to be rehab?

-Do I use FHA 3.5% and government Assistant if offer to me?

-Conventional at 5% plus closing cost?

Already pre approved for FHA but Im thinking about living there for a year than moving and rent both sides out

After repair on both of the units each side can rent for $675-$775

or should I wholesale the deal to a cash buyer?

sorry for the crazy explanation and I hope you guys can help me decide?

thanks,

Carlos Guzman
