There are the obvious pros/cons of a duplex but then there are the non-obvious ones that come with being in Detroit.I actually have a fantastic article about this I can share but I'm unable to link to it in this post.

They might be willing to give different terms especially to a high net worth person that they can likely make money on cross selling.

The primary residence exclusion is $250k per person on title.

You’re still going to be personally sued when something goes wrong. 

But if you build a solid team and do your homework, it can be extremely rewarding.If you’re interested, I’ve put together a lot of resources on the market that might help—happy to share.

So is this just as simple as showing how much the property makes or do they also look at personal debt to income, credit score, reserves etc as well.

BTW: most owners that have hired a PMC, don't want to speak with you, much less meet with you in person to hear a hyped-up sales pitch.Also, you want to do rental arbitrage - so, you will need to be properly licensed to manage properties you do not own as required by your state & local laws.- why would an owner want to do business with someone NOT properly licensed?

Wishing you the best, and happy to share any insights along the way.

I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

Would you be willing to share the builder you used for your duplexes?
