You are looking to rent or buy a space with a partner to have a personal fitness business or just a class?

My wife and I have been also mulling the idea of when we build the duplex of living in one and renting out the other while we sell our home we are currently in as well and build our dream home.

I just picked up a Duplex ALL IN, 75k, rents will be 900/ 900, that's a deal :) Good luck 

Examples:44109 (median home price went from roughly 50k to 125k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77009/cleveland-oh-44109/ 44102 (median home price went from roughly 30k to 120k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77002/cleveland-oh-44102/ 44106 (median home price went from roughly 100k to 200k in 8 years)https://www.zillow.com/home-values/77006/cleveland-oh-44106/ It has the highest rents on average in all of Ohio for major cities and the median income is not even in the top 3.

This can be a good option, but, of course, it will depend on how much your current property is worth, whats your mortgage and other expenses on it and how much rent you think you can get on your current home.

Also, what can be rented out easily, in terms of size and number of bedrooms?

How would I analyze a deal in a market where the rents are capitulating and is unsure how much or how long it will continue to do so?

I paid 160K cash for that one, spent about 30k again and have it rented for $1,895/mo. 

Hey everyone, I recently was approached by a potential tenant about using section 8 vouchers to cover the rent.

However, this requires careful planning and adherence to 1031 rules.Holding and Renting Units:Retained Units: For the units you retain (one for your business and one for rental income), you will continue to benefit from rental income and potential appreciation.Depreciation: You can continue to depreciate the retained units, which provides additional tax benefits by offsetting rental income.With these considerations, this approach allows you to leverage the benefits of a 1031 exchange while maximizing the potential of your investment in the commercial property.
