Looking to sell Duplex in Stuart Florida during 2018.

Long term I don't see it going more than 10 units, buts 10 condo units that cash flow and provide tax advantages is better in my mind, then waiting to buy a duplex ever 2-3 years (saving for down payments).

( is a duplex, living in one side renting out the other).

As far as ther downstairs goes, since the downstairs kitchen is decent size, I was looking at walling off the dining room and making a 3rd bedroom.  3 bedroom apartments appear to rent for 750 - 1000 so I am thinking I would sacrifice the dining room for the added value of the extra bedroom. 

There are a lot of buy and holds happening right now and bidding wars for duplexes (learned that last year). 

I can see a benefit from not having to re-key a property and offering the smart home system as an incentive for new tenants, has anyone thought of this for their duplexes or multi family units? 

i just purchased a lot that i would like to put a duplex or 4plex on, so i can have some income for when i retire.

I have a duplex under contract and plan on house hacking.

We currently have 2 rental properties, one a 4 plex with a 240k balance at 4.5% interest and a duplex with a 155k balance at 5% interest.

We are on the process of inspection for a Duplex of NC.
