A half duplex in the Calgary suburbs where I live sells between 500-700k. 

Hi @Andrew Freed, It is fairly recent, it has been about a year and a half since it passed. 

You're already half way there.

3.I can save up around $20k-$30k a year and Im looking to use about half of that for a down payment with an FHA loan, so the remaining funds would go into the property savings as reserve.

The top 10% of all agents have sold nearly half of all real estate.Some of those agents are full-time and still struggling to make a decent living.

These may be the easiest because if they are new constructions or full gut rehabs, you can see what the final product value is, and what these developers are buying at.It would be a good skillset to have to actually understand renovation and build cost. 

Is it possible for me to refinance my half of the property so I can get my money back out to purchase another?

For now I simply wanted to share some data as we head into what could be a very active second half of 2024.This is a great time to buy an oceanfront condo. 

For the basics I'm looking at a half acre of land for 150k Duplex Manu 3/2 1900 sqft per side 230KConstruction is roughly 150kThe rent minimum i would expect is 2500 per side and could probably stretch it a little because of the amount of land they would have access to.

Added a bedroom, converted half shower to full shower, etc.
