I did do a search a few minutes ago and I admit I can't easily find anything that prohibits it now-a-days.

I am also curious how folks are dealing with appraisals as appraisers don't view these properties as duplexes and I've heard of investors having issues with cash out refinances not hitting their target values where had the home been designated a duplex (lets say in a two detached property scenario) it would have easily appraised in their target value. 

If they are professional, they can explain this quickly and easily.

I’d easily be $15MM more ahead in my investing career if I’d have focused on that for the 23 years it took me to get really going.

I have easily done this using services like Skipmatrix in the US.

The property will need to have a slight rehab to get it up to STR standards, but when complete it should easily be a $200k Gross booking revenue property.

I also happen to know that Grocapitus has three exits coming up in the first half of 2022, and all of these are expected to beat the leader in this table below (Park Canyon - 50% AAR) easily.

But again, it's yet another example of how investors, and people in general, can so easily go wrong.

Can easily get a 20% referral fee just for sourcing and handing off that lead.

This is a significant risk to the other two parties that are bringing the deal and the money when they could just as easily hire a contractor and keep the equity for themselves.
