Hello all,I'm looking to make my first offer on a duplex and I'm needing help deciding what to request now vs what can wait until the due diligence period. 

With $150k you can get into several duplexes.

My primary also happens to be an investment property, it’s a duplex and I also have one paid for investment property as well.

Purchase price: $28,000 Cash invested: $28,000 Raw land, and 2 adjacent lots to be developed into duplex rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Quote from @Jaron Walling: @Tanya Maslach What was the asking the price and what was your original offer?

My main concern about actual house hacking for a few years in a row is that we don't want the kiddos to have to change schools once we relocate up there.I'm thinking about getting an appreciation-oriented duplex/triplex in a pricier market with good schools that we could stay in for several years, and saving for an actual cashflow property that'd we buy as an investment property instead of a house hack.

Maybe a duplex if you're lucky, but definitely a SFR.

This is when i was telling all my friends to buy duplexes - even at higher prices (at the time), because anything you bought made sense with a 2.75% rate.

Hence I recommend starting with a duplex.
