It's hot, everyone's cranky, parents are already sick of their kids being out of school.

As our kids are getting bigger, we have only been getting out there a couple times the past few summers.  

All kidding aside...

I would like to explore the possibility of converting it to Duplex.

I am starting to explore my options from a commercial loan standpoint as well...just in case.Would greatly appreciate insight from the group on this.

Younger investors, or older ones without kids and parents and dogs and other such things can certainly choose to live in a duplex unit.I don't expect this to be a game changer, although I do expect that it will change the way ADUs are appraised.

I think if you explore the team option, you will find it can give you what you want without much of the overhead on your shoulders.

However on this specific transaction, I netted the seller $30k over market value (if she we're to list) for her house because I have a solid relationship with a specific buyer/fund which 99% of agents do not have nor explore.

Hello Everyone,I'm new to this forum and new to investing. a little bit about me, i'm 38 years old male married no kids, I currently live in NC and i  am looking at diving into Oklahoma housing market but i'm not sure where to start exactly.

Or at the point in which your "passive" income (nothing in RE is truly passive) is well beyond what you want/need to be comfortable, give to charity, leave to your kids, travel the world, etc, then you can simply start consolidating, trading growth for debt reduction.
