Building a duplex or buying an existing duplex?

[Corey Duran]

I want to buy a home but I’ve been doing a lot of research and a lot of investors suggest that duplexes would be a great way to start off. I have been looking but am having a hard time finding a duplex in the area I would like to live and in a decent condition. I am thinking of finding land and having a duplex built but I don’t know how or how much money I’ll need to actually make that happen? Is It better than buying an existing duplex?
