How can I be my Own Landlord?

You can with a Duplex!

A Duplex is a 2 unit home that resides on a slightly larger residential lot (often with special zoning). The owner typically occupies one unit and rents out the other unit to a tenant. The rental income or revenue stream from the rental unit is then used to defray the cost of the mortgage, ultimately providing a monthly payment that is less than a single family home. You as the Landlord can have your tenant paying a portion of your mortgage and you can own a more expensive piece of real estate for less cost. You will be building more equity in your real estate investment for less cost than a single family home.

Advantage Builders offers a 2 bedroom/2 bath Duplex with a Den in each unit. Garages are optional depending on local zoning.

Duplexes start at $223,900.
