The property is currently under contract and moving through due diligence while financing and partnership structure are finalized.

Hello all,I would love to hear advice and opinions regarding buying a Duplex with a partner, and the one partner would live in one side:-How would be best to structure that, and manage that situation? 

That means every additional permanent structure pushes you toward roads, utilities, and full development costs pretty quickly. 

The strategy is elegant in its simplicity: transform one lot into a four-unit residential complex by renovating the original structure into two units and adding two new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

For me it started as a mental framework that I refined over time through a lot of trial and error — and honestly, some mistakes that could have been avoided if I had been more intentional upfront.What I found is that most people have a general sense of what they want but haven't actually written it down in a structured way.

either the deal works based on the numbers or it doesn't.certainly new investors should not start with major structural issues or gut rehabs...what are you trying to accomplish?

Hi BiggerPockets community My name is Jay Toluganti, and I’m a real estate investor and operator based in Florida, actively investing both locally and in a few Midwest and Northeast markets.I started my real estate journey a few years ago and have since built an operator-focused business across multiple strategies, including:📍 Vacant land acquisitions, primarily sourcing infill lots for home builders🏗️ Supporting builders with 185+ lot acquisitions, contributing to 1M+ sq ft of residential development🏠 Single-family rehabs & cosmetic flips💰 Working with private and self-directed IRA lenders on structured, asset-backed dealsMy background is in engineering and management (corporate roles in India and the U.S.), so I’m underwriting-driven and very systems-oriented.

I'm a pediatric dentist by training who's been transitioning into entrepreneurship and real estate over the past several years.I currently own a commercial property in Barberton, OH (small retail space, leased) and run a few businesses across different entity structures - an S Corp, a couple LLCs, and the rental property.

Hey @Gabriel Shapira, great to see you active in Columbus — strong rental demand, solid appreciation pockets, and plenty of value-add opportunities if you’re underwriting right.Since you’re investing out-of-state, having the right team locally is everything — contractor accountability, boots-on-the-ground inspections, and agents who truly understand investor metrics (not just retail comps).If funding is ever part of the equation, we’d love to be a resource for you.We move quickly and structure loans around investor strategy — especially helpful when you’re competing remotely and need strong, reliable execution.

I’m looking for feedback and potential capital partners on a control position I have in a multi-family in Canarsie (Brooklyn).Key details:• Estimated current value: ~$975K–$1.02M (recent area comps)• Existing mortgage at ~2.87%• 50% ownership interest available• Target entry: low–mid $300Ks for the 50% positionStructure options:– Preferred: mortgage assumption– Also open to structured equity / JV discussionsI’m primarily interested in connecting with experienced operators who understand Brooklyn asset management and long-term hold strategy.Happy to share rent roll, expense breakdown, and valuation comps with proof of funds.Would appreciate thoughts from the group on pricing and structure as well.
