I have my eye on a duplex property that is listed for $135,000. It has appx. 1 acre and each side is 1500 square feet. 1 unit has 3/2 - the second has 4/2.
So my thought was to purchase this property and upgrade each side with the intent to seperate the deeds to sell as a “duplex”. Does anyone know anything about the legal aspects of selling a duplex?
Also I wanted to market this property to low income individuals (there is a shortage in my area). If I list each side at $120,000 then I think we could easily sell the property (it is in a very rural - blue collar town). Also, I was thinking that we could offer to carry the mortgage or offer a lease option. The negatives to the property - is that it is on a main road…but the lot is a good size and the house has good bones.
These are conserative numbers - do you think they make sense?
