The only way this would be possible, at least to my understanding, would be to put the duplex in an individual's name so we could refinance with a bank on a 30 year loan.A question for my fellow CPA's or other's who have done this: how could we make this work as far as taxes are concerned? 

I am in no way advocating that someone jump before looking and understanding.

@Bob Floss III second that - i couldn’t understand it on the first deal this happened.

Hmm please help me understand.

I understand that this market is more inclined towards single families, but still I want to try and find a property that makes sense to me.

Even lawyers often make mistakes on these or do not fully understand the law.

I’ve heard that needtoskip is a good website and i understand what it does, i just don’t know how it bills you out. i’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but what exactly are you paying for and how much is it?

@Nathan Story welcome to BP.One of my big beliefs is that you need to know 1 how to evaluate deals and 2 know your specific market. lots of new investors spend time learning the "Strategies" while that is fun and exciting what gives you the confidence to move forward is truly understanding how to evaluate deals and knowing what they are worth in your marketplace.
