Research led me to a couple of videos of former ND players coming back to build development into the area.

Too many strategies to address  on a post like this but I recommend you research all of the above.

I have been doing a lot of research but still have a lot of questions I would like to run by someone that has some knowledge about commercial/multi-family real estate. 

Conservatively speaking, we probably own $70k in equity in the duplex and $50k in our own home.In the limited research I've done, a HELOC seems like an ideal form of financing a BRRRR property.

Yes, you or I might save someone years of headaches, research, obtaining experience from hard knocks and that is certainly valuable.I'm not saying a REIA meeting isn't a good place to network.

Whereas I (and others) continually urge them to stop being lazy and do their own research....go on VRBO and ABNB and look at the competition. 1) What are they charging?

@Hamidou KeitaTo build a duplex or ADU in Tucson, verify zoning regulations, obtain construction estimates, budget for unexpected costs, research market rent and vacancy rates, calculate ROI, consider neighborhood and property value trends, analyze construction timeline, consider exit strategy, and consider a backup plan.

Researching the area’s vacancy rates and future development plans can also give you insights into long-term potential.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Your answers are absolute gold.
