Can you buy a duplex in Arkansas and live in one side just to get your feet wet and make sure you like the area?

I am under contract for a 3 family home w a very unique set up. 2- 1 bedroom apartments and 3 and 4th duplex which has 5 bedrooms but only 1 bathroom this home is 8 min from Brown University in RI and 10 min from Johnson Wales. (6miles)Do u think its close enough to attract college students especially the duplex? 

What is the return on the duplex? 

We provide new construction rentals and PM (single family, duplexes and Quads) for investors.

Have an intro call with them tomorrow and will likely move forward for 2023 taxes (have W2, a duplex and an Airbnb beach house)

I agree it makes no sense to hold onto this condo once she passes.

Investors/Wholesalers are great, that is agreed, and is how I bought my duplex.  

The rebound in single-family home sales is impressive, but what really catches my eye is the inventory growth and the trends in townhomes and condos. 

Currently have a duplex I’ve been in 3 yearsMortgage 3.65% pmt $850Tenant pays $875Heloc $30k——monthly $291The issue I am running into isRates are so high right now and it’s a lot harder to find another that will cover full mortgage.Does it make sense to leave somewhere that it is full covered to go to one that is not?

I want to go the buy-and-hold route, and I am interested in finding a duplex that will provide a steady cash flow, a high appreciation value and does not need renovations.
