🏡 What if someone else could help pay your mortgage?
Last week, I submitted an offer on a duplex for a client, and it got me thinking about unique real estate investment strategies, living in one unit while renting out the other or sharing in the cost with a friend or family member. Imagine having your neighbor help pay your mortgage every month.
Even better, this duplex already had rental income in place, which could help my client qualify for a higher purchase price than they would otherwise qualify for.
Right now, there are approximately 75 duplexes for sale in King County, starting at $585,000!
This is a very interesting market for buyers right now with good prices and sellers willing to negotiate. I even wrote an offer for a lease-to-own this week, where the buyer can stay in their forever home until some things change for them that will allow them to qualify to buy it in 1-2 years.
