If yes, how do the numbers look?

We used to do outstanding. 

What lenders do you recommend to work with to access the equity in my duplex and how do I go about purchasing another property and not paying the 20-25% down.

Do you still own the duplex you bought in October 2024?

They are getting what they really want, and you are crafting the deal to where it will still make sense for you.One potential issue is if what is most important to them is also important to you.

There just aren't as many deals as there used to be it seems. 

If you have owned it over 6 months, then you can cash-out refinance at 75% of the appraised value.

What can be the disadvantage to keep it aggregated in the coming years?

Lol, you nailed it, Don!

Doing some back of the napkin math and listings on Redfin right now it doesn’t look like anything listed right now makes sense from an investment perspective.
