The key is to get comps of the area that fit your criteria, but getting a property that doesn't need a full gut job.

I ask because there are approved foundations plans that call out specific requirements (like strapping) and may qualify it as a permanent home.

This is where you can go down the rabbit hole of where to find these deals…different philosophies and what is even realistic ect…this is super market specific and a whole conversation of itself….however still very possible as this is how I started out.

If you were from a specific country that is on a watch list, then expect more of the same.I invest in the USA and UK.

We are looking to do this versus a home office deduction, which we probably wouldn’t qualify for anyway (would fail the exclusive clause).I’m sure this question has been covered before in the forums, but I can’t seem to locate a specific thread on this topic.

Do you have specific markets in mind for the duplex?

Hello allI am a new wholesaler and Im cold calling cash buyers in my area and asking their criteria to match them with properties I find.

It is landlord-friendly, and specific pockets have gone upwards of 2-4x in the last 5-10 years.

@David Nacco what is your criteria?

I'm not sure the specifics of that market but my initial gut reaction would be that 90+ day stays may be a bit too limiting to make an MTR worth it. 90 days could work well with the average 13 weeks for travel nurse contracts but may limit your digital nomads, business traveler, etc bookings.
