It would likely be more expensive than a SFH as you'd need double the amount of kitchens, bathrooms, etc, but you're still only remodeling 2725 sq ft. 

Kitchen was a melted ice cream mess. 

Redid everything, completely new electrical, new plumbing. removed a few walls. new kitchen.

Alternatively, would you choose to keep these expenses since an HOC could in theory require a 1x fee if they are short on funds and need to do a major project like replace the windows, pave the parking lots, etc?

Moved in Sept 2021, avoided taxes on my primary, and currently remodeling kitchen counters (changing to granite) and cabinets (have sanded/painted and am adding new doors/drawers).
