Would you buy a half duplex?

[rcardin]

It seems that there are alot of half duplexes for sale close to the school I teach at. Makes it real easy to drive by the property after work almost daily. Most are between 39k and 50k.

this one is:
built in 1973
1562 sq ft
4br 2 ba
Taxable value 72,650
6-8 blocks from the high school
It is a repo
asking price 41,900
52 days on market and already dropped 7k in the listing.
Rentable for anywhere between 800-950 because of the 4 bedrooms. Section 8 rental value is closer to 1100 a month.

Looks like cash flow would be minimum 300 a month. i have not looked at the property yet. We are narrowing down to 6-8 properties to look at this weekend but this one caught our eye.

Would you buy half of a duplex if it would cash flow? Looking for any negatives that we might not have thought of.
