Hi @Abel Curielthank you very much, I sent you a private message.

A duplex strategy is a low-risk entry, saving on living expenses.

I consider the time I spent trying to learn this software wasted unless I can save someone else from doing it.

The duplex has done well because it has a great backyard/garden area and each unit has a private deck and W/D.

Investing in a new construction duplex or quad in a high-growth market is a smart approach—both for immediate cost savings and long-term cash flow.I also agree that focusing on markets with strong job growth and population increases is key.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.
