My current home was a duplex at one time and I was planning to keep it and rent it as one.

Many of them make big promises, then provide very little actionable advice.Second, what you are hearing about is referred to as "arbitrage" where you rent a property as a long-term rental for a set price, then you furnish it and try to rent it on AirBnB for a profit.

A $50K investment from a psychiatrist who has no idea what they are doing but wants the "freedom" "low risk" and "generational wealth" the GP promises comes with zero power over the syndicator in an incredible lopsided distribution of power not available from most other sources of capital. 2) Ability to Charge WAY more in fees: A naive accredited investor with little experience in private investments will fork over fees like: - 2.5% acquisition fee- High Management fees (2-5% of rents) - 2.5% disposition fee- 1-2.5% refinance fee- 20-30% carried interestThe fees that many of these social media influencers charge would get them laughed out of the room by any family office or private equity shop.

The owner was renting the property and was getting close to retirement age.

I have a unit which is rented to a family for years.

The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.

I like duplexes best here in Austin because they can be in good areas and you have two units to rent vs one with SFH.

People pay rent with money, not their SAT scores. 

It would be even better if we could get it zoned to rent out the house as a 3/2 and separately rent out the ADU as a 1/1.If anyone that sees this has done something like this in Columbus, we would love to get any info on how the process went, how much did the permits and inspections cost, etc.Also, if anyone knows whether or not we could even rent out an ADU through sec-8 that would also be helpful, as we will definitely consider using sec-8 to rent out the property if it can get us higher rents.We are going to be contacting the city's zoning dept right away to verify with them that this would even be allowed at this address, and to try and get a rough estimate of how much permits etc will cost us.

They may settle for 3 months worth of rent".
