Five Reasons Duplexes Rock:
1. Rental income helps you with the mortgage payment.
2. Build equity faster.
3. Tax write offs/benefits to owning rental property.
4. If you live in one unit, you have a lower interest rate and lower downpayment than if purchasing a rental property without living there. (as low as 3.5% Down, or 0% down with VA)
5. You only have to live there a year before buying a SFH - a great place to land when rates are high!
