Hello everyone,So over the summer I purchased my first duplex with an fha mortgage.

I'm just starting out in real estate can't seem to find a duplex property do anybody out there recommend buying a one-family and me living it for a year and taken out a HELOC or refinancing and buying a duplex

I'm currently looking at my first deal which is a very large duplex in the downtown area where I live. 

Hello I presently have a duplex under contract and am hoping it will close sometime in December. 

Hello BPNeed some advice on the financing side of duplex property that I am ready to close before end of the year.I reached out to my lender for a conventional mortgage for the amount of $61k (purchase - 25%) and he quoted me 4.75% rate for 30 year with a closing cost of $4k.I have a Heloc (line of credit) where I can do a cash purchase without any of the closing costs.

I will state that most will not lend over the 80% mark on a cash out loan with a duplex though but that doesn't mean that it's not possible to find one though. 

You may want to consider buying a duplex and living in half and renting out the other unit.

I'm really excited to get started.My wife and I currently own a 2 bdrm condo in Newton, MA that we rent out.

We own a LTR (condo) in Naples and STR in St.

I have started with SFH and duplexes, in one LLC.
