To invest in a duplex, consider factors like neighborhood quality, economic stability, safety, property condition, cash flow potential, financing options, tenant screening, lease agreements, future potential, legal and zoning considerations, maintenance and management, networking, and starting small and scaling. Research the local economy, crime rate, property inspection, market rents, vacancy rates, and consider financing options, tenant screening, and zoning laws.
Good luck!
