How is a duplex evaluated?
How is a duplex evaluated? Is it based on NOI and cap rate? Or just comps like how you evaluate single fam residences?

@Charlotte Dunford A duplex is a SFR...as are all 1-4 unit properties...maybe with the exception of a rooming house...but anyway, yes, comparable sales method. In certain situations appraisers will look at the income approach...or some combination of both. If you are using a lender, they will want to know the in-place rents as part of the underwriting process.
If you are evaluating a duplex yourself, the ROI metrics are merely for your own edification...nothing wrong with that. Its good practice.
