I've been looking at purchasing a duplex for the last 2-3 months (what a buyers market out there!) and finally got an accepted offer on a place I'm really excited about. And like you, I'm looking at the owner occupied route so I anticipate visiting your blog with some frequency to try and pick up some tips from somebody that's been there, done that. My question ... why just the one duplex so far? Money is cheap now ... I'm going with a 5/1 arm at 3.75% ... and there's plenty of inventory ... from reading your blog I wondered if it was still just the one duplex. Again ... keep up the good work ... very practical/useful information on your blog! Just wanted to say I really like your blog … keep it up.

I'm a 24 year old single girl looking to take advantage of the buyers market, and I'm looking at buying a duplex. I'd love to ask you a few questions, if you can email me. Right away, I'm curious if you think it's a horrible decision if I don't have lots of cash saved up. The duplex was build in 1978 and has had some updates, but it's sort of scary thinking lot's could go wrong as soon as it's mine. I'll wait for your email! I really appreciate it! Thanks!

I'm doing some research since I have a contract to buy a duplex as my first home, but know nothing about being a landlord. Seems like I can do most of my shopping here... I think you were right - I'm sure the the tenants probably noticed the umbilical cord between you and the apartment. Maybe this is why more Realtors show the property instead of homeowners? Personally, I would rather have the owner show the property so I could quiz them... Question, what does your boyfriend think about you owning a duplex? Do you think you'll own it long term?

Question, what does your boyfriend think about you owning a duplex? Do you think you’ll own it long term?
