When you have a duplex and tenants on both sides stay for ten years, it almost guarantees that something isn't right.I would study your market and determine the value of your rental, because I bet you are losing money every month.

Quote from @Colton Bridges: I recently bought a duplex that I plan to convert to a fourplex.

The only deal I’ve ever walked away from we determined that the entirety of two of the exterior, structural walls were significantly bowing and in the basement below them the foundation had been permanently covered so there was no way to see what it was doing.

Im working on getting a duplex within this month using creative financing.

A duplex, triplex, or fourplex is ideal because the more units, the more financing options banks may offer.

Rookie real estate investor looking for some advice:I purchased a duplex in Grand Rapids, MI last October (2023).

You can use FHA and low-down payment options with duplexes, which inflates prices.

I sold this 30k property for 125k and bought a duplex.

I have a duplex in Wisconsin and the upper tenant has just notified me that she lost her job 3 weeks ago and doesn't have money for rent this month.

Thing is I hit a wall, I want to expand in my area, but I also want to expand in other areas and I am stuck in a little analysis paralysis scenario.
