I rent a Chicago Housing Authority apartment. I've decided to be independent from the government by buying a house without government subsidy. During the process, a realtor pose a question why not buy 2 flats instead? My wife called one of her friend who is married to a rental investor and her friend suggested a duplex instead of a two flats. So, I research buying duplexes and Bigger Pockets' article on How to buy a duplex came out. There's a lot of information in the website and as days goes by, my confidence of buying a duplex increases. I might need another month to wrap things up and actually do the hard work.
