Defintely let me know if you have gone forward with any deals, I am a numbers guy!

I'd also talk to the current owner, so if they want, they can let the tenants in that unit know.Hopefully you are getting their deposits transferred to you (it is the tenants' money and you will have to pay it back in full when they go because you don't know the condition of the unit when they moved in). 

You may as well move into that market (By the way that's what we did in one market- we moved)Regarding hiring a buyer's agent, a lawyer and an inspector to do pre-inspections before you decide to make an offer- Buyer's agent and a lawyer fine.

The other thing to note, and o don’t remember each counties rules off the top of my head but in some counties you lose the ability to rent the adu if you move out & it’s not owner occupied.

Luckily I'm not seeing the craziness that was 2020 and 2021 such as offers 50K over asking, waived inspection and appraisal contingencies, etc but you still have to put your best foot forward. - Currently, most deals we are getting under contract are at least at asking and maybe 5K-10K over at most.

I'm trying to decide when or if I should transition from "building the portfolio" and acquiring properties and move to paying down the loans and building cash flow. 

If they want to move up, why not sell their duplex and buy themselves a new home?

My wife and I are considering selling our current property and moving into another, but as I’m sure many of you know, those events don’t always line up perfectly to prevent paying for two places at once.I’ve heard rumors about a program that allows the temporary freezing of mortgage payments on properties for sale by owner while they begin paying for other properties.

You need to make this (product/area decision) a very diligent decision or go for lower returns (LTR) and lower your expenses to save more money to move the capital to more investments to eventually leave your current active income.

I have a friend that is interested enough to entertain a call, but not sure if they will move forward.
