think about how long it will take to recoup all the costs i just mentioned.if you want day 1 cash flow... open a savings account.hope this helps.

Great job up to this point!

My guide is asking this question..."

Hi there,Considering a duplex as your primary home and renting out the other unit is a great idea, but you need to understand how interest rates work in this scenario.When you buy a duplex and plan to live in one unit, you can still qualify for a residential mortgage, which typically has better interest rates compared to commercial loans.

This also leads owners to ASSUME simpler is better when it comes to management contracts.

Any legit way around this? 

Have any of you worked on a project similar to this?

Any insight from wholesalers or investors in this area would be much appreciated.

Does this seem reasonable ideally I could insure it for value vs rebuild cost?

I've done this before but this is the 1st time where I have an on market & the agent & my buyer are the only ones that are going to be at the property together.
