Still searching for duplex

[Rocco Grossi]

Ok eveyrone so I am still in search of my first property which will be a duplex that I will occupy. I am noticing that it may take a little while before I will find ecactly what I am looking for in the right area and at the right price range. I have a feeling the agent I am working with does not want me to focus on finding a duplex, I feel he is trying to steer my direction into a single. But I am insisting on the duplex and will just have to wait until the right deal comes on to the market. Right? Feedback?

In most markets, there are many more SFH's available than duplexes. Duplexes are often owned by buy-and-hold investors, which means they do not turn over as quickly as SFH's.

I think an owner-occupied duplex is a great way to begin as a real estate investor. So if it were me, I would be patient for a while longer. If this does not make your agent happy, then find a new one that is supportive of your goals.
