That changed the whole area its now all condo's of course not starter housing but it worked to transform an area. 

Hi @Marc Shin - In the past, I used a 3/4" marble for a condo MTR....it actually turned out very nicely. 

@Jeff Ryan I have similar sloping floors in my duplex. 95% of my doors close properly and I have no cracking.

I generally advise against townhomes and condos as the HOAs can become harsh and limit your options.

I will then keep up the process to pay off a recently acquired duplex with about $72,000 in debt.  

AB1482 states that "single-family homes/condos (residential real property that is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unit) are exempt from AB 1482 if (1) the owner is not a real estate investment trust, a corporation, or a limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation and (2) the owner provides the tenant with a written notice of the exemption"The part that is confusing is "...a corporation, or a limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation."

Curious and excited to learn some things about multifamily properties (duplexes currently).

Hey Lue, very common and sometimes you might see this called a "kiddy condo loan". 

but I’m starting to reconsider .Eating the Capital Gains will hurt a bit but we can apply the profit made towards some tax debt as well and then apply more $ to our primary condo out here and get relief of the PMI.OR do a 1031 .However, most people say an intermediary is necessary .I need to do research on how much someone charged for a 1031 .

I just finished a total gut and rebuild of a duplex after a fire, and listed my 2 units a week and a half ago.
