@Eli Jerman Owning a duplex where you live in one unit and rent out the other offers significant tax benefits but adds complexity.

I looked at Sapphire pretty hard last year, and made a couple of offers there, but in the end decided it wasn't the market for me.

The rest, put you on near-worthless drip campaigns, don't understand calculating the offer price based upon rents - property taxes - insurance - MNT & Vacancy percentages, etc.DM @James Wise to schedule a chat with him!

The builder offerred $15,000 credit to be applied, however you wished EXCEPT can not be used for price reduction. 

Hey Steven - An LLC is a solid choice for structuring your partnership since it offers liability protection and keeps things clean when splitting ownership and profits.

Banks who offer construction financing tend to be 75-80% LTC and alternative/hard money lenders will sometimes offer higher LTC leverage than that.

The rental demand in the area has been consistent, and duplexes offer the flexibility of house hacking or scaling into multi-family investing over time.With your experience in construction and remodeling, you’re already ahead of the game—fix-and-flips or BRRRR projects in Kansas City could be a perfect fit for you. 

The lenders that offer the 203k renovation loan are telling me that DPA cannot be used with it and this is in Ohio.

It’s about understanding what each neighborhood offers.

I use the fix and flip tab and it's great it tells me my allowable offer and all the tools are helpful!
