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.

You should put this in the classifieds section.

I already had a one month vacancy when this tenant moved in and my earlier tenant just walked away and broke the lease.

It's been months since I started using this platform.

I’d love to hear from those who are actively flipping right now—what’s changed?

Hi Folks,Need some clarification on this complex topic.There is a lot of discussion on these tax nuances in BP forums, so I am happy to read any particular thread you can point me to.Basically I have a W2 (above income limits) and I am a General Partner in a multifamily deal.I have received 2 K1s from this deal (one as a GP) and another as an LP (since I put in some of my own money).Am I allowed to take the K1 losses from this deal to offset my W2 income?
