Hey Aidan, those two things are not comparable, in my opinion.

CURRENTLY OWN TWO DUPLEX , WE ARE HOUSE HACKING ONE OF OUR DUPLEX , WE HAVE OVER 300K IN EQUITY !

Since we just got the certificate of of occupancy literally two weeks ago,  we are looking all options to maximize return on investment. 

So, if you could get another dryer, maybe even two, and place them in a garage or closet I would work out how to do that asap! 

The property had a first mortgage, as well as a second mortgage, both from the same purchase money lender.After receiving the trustee’s deed and recording it, I discovered two “Independent Solar Energy Producer Contracts” recorded against the home.

I live in Jacksonville FL and Just bought my first Duplex in Ashtabula OH.I have a licensed Real Estate Agent, Licensed Property Manager and two Lenders (conventional and Hard).To be honest this is to be my retirement.

I became a select mentee of theirs about two months ago. 

Live in each every two years and sale for the primary residence tax advantage.  

The issue I have seen with these types of properties is they could have two valuations - the value of the real estate which the structures will have little value and you have the land the other is as an operating business just like a bed and breakfast would have - real estate has value but it operates a business now you mention 12k / month but if someone also has to manage the property what is that worth and what would someone pay to manage a property like this?

Based on your assessment, it feels like the only way for you to buy something now is to make a compromise that you don't want to make or to get out over your skis a bit more than you'd like. 20 years from now, it won't make much of a difference whether you bought something today or two years from now.
