Are you referring to the fact that reselling a MH inside a trust will not circumvent the need for an investor to get licensed as a Dealer if his/her state has a cap per consecutive 12 months OR is using trusts strictly forbidden under these acts?? 

On paper, Duplexes often look stronger from a CAP rate and return perspective, but they can come with other challenges not found in SFH's.  

I work on 70/30 split with a cap then I keep all commissions.  

With out going in to a long reply on the property, If the numbers still work and give you a cap rate that you can live with (risk wise) then YES!   

I would generally look at 15% due to taxes, but I rarely considered a cap rate as it is difficult to ascetain by definition long term and while you may go into a deal with a number as a target, it will usually be wrong.

I too agree this should not be the case as we are buying and selling for ourselves and not representing anyone but ourselves... however this is not the case.Some states say you should always be licensed (Ca), some states give you a cap per year without a license, and other states don't give a sh**.

CBRE publishes a cap rate survey report.

But agreed, a lot of single folks or young couples will rent that upper (I bet it's a bungalow, or a cape cod, right?). 

Still, you could probably pay for a cap that would still net you lower than what I've seen out there recently.

There's a couple more identical size/type duplex's on the other side of the street that are listened in the low 160's and those have been sitting for over 6 months now.A quick analysis of the $155K one with a cap rate.
