My husband and I had an offer accepted on our first duplex.

Along with building SFR they are also building duplex, three units,  and quads.  

I've been here since 2007 (but only started investing in SFH recently) and have definitely noticed that when I see a duplex, tri, quad, 8+ they all seem to be in rougher neighborhoods...that being said, I myself definitely want to find some and may end up relying on off-market deals to find what I want.Let me know if you learn anything new about multifamily here in Memphis, I'd love to understand it more as well!

In 2018 I purchased my first duplex, then in 2020 I house-hacked my next investment.

To get started, consider VA loans, which offer 0% down and no PMI, and house hacking, which involves buying a duplex or triplex and renting out the others.

Unlike DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans for smaller multifamily (i.e. duplexes, fourplexes, etc.) that allow market rents (not actual rents) to help determine if the property covers the mortgage payment, commercial loans look at what is happening today.

Rent-to-Income Ratio: 29% Rent-to-Price Ratio: 0.48 Looking at single family and possibly duplexes.

This may affect value or time required to sell.7) Adding an ADU does not make the property a duplex.

My duplex I lived in until I bought my house now, and my house November will be 2 years. 

Hi, I am newly under contract for my first investment property, a duplex we plan to live in and rent out.
