A week ago, when I last visited my condo, everything was in order.

By the way, from what I read in the Wall Street Journal, there’s a growing number of niche investors cropping up who love grabbing assignments that fly under the mainstream radar, especially if you’re bringing something fresh to the table like a distressed duplex they can reposition, or a small portfolio of row homes they can turn into long-term rentals.

In this situation with the duplex, I think I can get one tenant to leave with a cash-for-keys agreement, but the other will be more difficult.

In the end my duplex - 2bed/2 bath on each side- stays fully booked mostly by construction workers and it's been working really well for me. 

I plan on buying a condo that I will later rent out.

I am looking to get into investing specifically house hacking and am searching for a small multi fam (duplex, tri, or quad) and haven't found the one yet.

I am looking to purchase this investment duplex property which was built prior to 1940.

I bought one of the Duplexes in Lubbock. 

How are you comparing the cost of a new build to one with an existing duplex?

It's a duplex and the first of our rental properties.
