You do not have to live in the home in order to do that!

Hopefully you guys can help answer this for me......I live in West Virginia and primarily invest outside the state. 

I live in Kansas.

The company I currently use for my other investment homes said they don't offer management for any co living... unless everyone in the home is on one lease.

This 16-acre mixed-use community bridges Downtown Gastonia and the historic Loray Mill District, creating a vibrant live/work/play corridor.⚾ Franklin Yards-Gastonia- A $26M, 5,000-seat multi-purpose sports and entertainment venue, with future plans for residential, retail, and office spaces.🍽 Food Hall-Gastonia-Gaston County’s first food hall is in the works!

When you live in that duplex for 2 years and then sell you'll be able to take 50% of the profit tax free (the allocation for the side you lived in). 

If you plan to buy in your hometown, buy a 2-4 unit, and live in one of the units.

Lower land and building costs mean higher returns on investment, and there’s a quiet but consistent need for quality housing as remote work and cost-of-living shifts draw people away from cities.

It will be remote, but since you live there now, you probably already have connections who either already know the house or local friends to find you good people to service things as needed.  

@Hudson Filippi What part of Northern MN do you live in now?
