For existing properties, you must make substantial improvements (equal to the property’s value, excluding land) within 30 months.Ensure the duplex qualifies as an OZ investment and complies with QOF rules.

I bought a duplex house near Scranton this past year and it is rented out . 

Hi Jeanette,What zip code is your current duplex in? 

There's a few opportunities to buy quads, tris, and duplexes.

I currently don’t own any properties but I hope to buy a duplex in the coming months.

Currently have a duplex I’ve been in 3 yearsMortgage 3.65% pmt $850Tenant pays $875Heloc $30k——monthly $291The issue I am running into isRates are so high right now and it’s a lot harder to find another that will cover full mortgage.Does it make sense to leave somewhere that it is full covered to go to one that is not?

Quote from @Jaron Walling: This question seem pretty naïve for someone that's flipped about 30 houses. 

Hey guys I'm looking to buy a 2nd property in the L.A area and I want to know what the better strategy would be: 1. sell my primary residence and buy a duplex so I can do a house hack OR 2. do a cash out refinance to house hack for said duplex.

With 30 years of experience in real estate and now owning a quadplex, duplex, and a condo STR, you’ve already built an impressive portfolio.

In general duplexes will be less than $200k in most Cleveland neighborhoods.
