A duplex generally is going to perform better because it's a single structure with 2 streams of income. 

Unbelievable cash flow and structured to very "hands off".

We did not do anything structural.

Will have to do some thinking and discussing on how to structure that. 

Building structures isn't the only way to add value.

They were built back in the 1950's, but very structurally sound (most things were built better back then anyway IMO).

With a duplex it gets into a more structured management process with maintenance and workorders.

My offer structure (2 options I'm working on): Cash-offer: Offer: $100k above asking price plus $6700 escalation for up to $125K above asking price Earnest money: $200K fully released 2 days after acceptance Closing: 10 days Wave: Inspection, Appraisal, Title and Financing contingencies.

I have learned to work on the safety items first including electrical, necessary structural, Roof leaks, water system leaks etc.

There are some but you have to be careful as the smaller tenant can have outdated warehouses with functionality and structure.
