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.

I just bought my first Duplex and had both units rented before my first payment was due.

With that being said, there are brokerages who focus on multi-family investments and those typically will focus on Duplexes and up.

The BRRRR strategy and tax lien investing are both great approaches, especially when you’re getting started and want to maximize your investments.I’m involved in the investment real estate space as well, primarily focusing on new construction duplexes in downtown Indianapolis.
