Before we delve into buying our first property together (he already owns a few rental units, but we have yet to do a deal together) I'm getting my RE lisense and he's getting his residential contractor's lisence.

If I want to dive deeper, then I can contract with an Architect and put money down.

Listen to the Bigger Pockets podcast for questions to ask to dig deeper.

I then would dig deeper and see how long they have owned the property and how much equity they have.

I will keep this in mind when offering them a new lease - need to dive deeper into our tenant laws regarding the timelines to vacate and build leases to make sure we're protected on this front.

You won't be able to find out quite as much detail about the scope of work but it can give you a good amount of info to work with to determine if you want to get it under contract and dig a little deeper. 

I'll have to dig a little deeper, because FHA construction loan on a duplex is exactly what I'm looking for, do you have any links I could start looking into?

This way I could run it myself to see whats worth really taking a deeper look into.

According to the article, this will be good for the communities that this plan serves.My question to the Bigger Pockets community is :Is anyone currently investing or has a deeper understanding of the tax benefits to real estate investors in these Opportunity Zones?

Should I look deeper into a BRRRR strategy?
