Why should you consider a duplex for your next home design? This structure is perfect for several residential strategies:

• Investment Properties – As the buildings are already subdivided, you can lease one property to multiple tenants. Each unit has its separate utility costs, which allows you maximum flexibility regarding tenants you permit in the building. As you generate revenue from the tenants, the building itself will continue to retain its value according to the local real estate market.
• Close-knit Families – Developers looking to sell their new construction may find that duplexes have a special appeal to families. Those professionals who have ageing parents can use the second unit to keep them close, while others may prefer to have aunties and uncles nearby to help look after children.
• Mortgage Management – New investors must often consider their monthly expenses when seeking new properties. Duplex homes are ideal for the savvy investor who wants to make money from their property by living in one unit and letting the second to offset their mortgage costs. Eventually, this revenue can allow the investor to purchase additional properties and expand their portfolio.
