Flood vents need to be installed in those block walls.

Quote from @James Wise: Quote from @Gretchen Williams: I have a duplex in Columbus , OH. 

I own a duplex and am selling it.

They also passed a state law that any R 1 lot can now be a duplex but this has not moved the needle much duplexs of new construction still cost far to much to build given land cost and building cost to be quote un quote affordable.

It is set up like a duplex as there are 2br/1 bath on each floor.

Just look back on what the expectations/forecasts were of interest rates at the end of 2023, nobody (even wall street) seemed to be listening to Powell's meetings and were overly optimistic.

I doubt its a problem because if you told them a duplex im sure they assume you will be living in one and renting the other but its better to check.

My wife and I always have our eyes open for stuff there, but looks like most duplexes (what we've focused on) are horribly overpriced.

I engaged with a builder that had built 22 duplex's and those were not moving on the local MLS in Vancouver Wa. 

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.
