Do you think a duplex is generally a better investment than a single-family home for rental purposes?

Quote from @Edward James smith: Hello, I currently own a single family house with an ADU, and a duplex.

I was leveraged to the point of being uncomfortable when I was single and in my 20s so I get the idea but don’t recommend pulling money out of a retirement fund.

Quote from @Zach Howard: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: If you are looking at properties in the US only on Zillow, and not seeing them in person (I know you are in Hong Kong), this is just an effort in futility because you can't underwrite single-family or small multifamily deals only online.

The area’s limited number of apartment buildings means that many renters prefer single-family properties, creating steady demand for these homes.Happy to chat further if needed.

Even if you do find that deal, getting it to cash flow after repairs and cash out refinance is extremely difficult for Single family homes.

@Scott Winnie is also a super trustworthy agent and I have worked with him in the past.

The company lists single family homes in certain targeted markets and, through their “knowledgeable investment counselors,” put sellers (the owners of the various properties) and buyers (who they educate, prepare and counsel) together and in the process Norada Real Estate Investment receives a marketing fee.

It’s a smart move, especially since it ties in with your goal of saving for your first investment.For skills, you probably already have a good foundation with your sales experience—things like communication, organization, and dealing with clients are all super valuable.
