Add a Duplex to Your
Rental Portfolio.

A superior duplex in a trending location allows you, the investor, to receive two (2) financial returns on your real estate investment—Annual Return and Equity Return.

1 - Annual Return

You receive a monthly income during the rental period.

RENTERS PAY YOUR EXPENSES

Your renters are paying off your mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and expenses while providing you with an upfront positive cash flow.

TAX SAVINGS ON
DEPRECIATION

You can depreciate the duplex over 27.5 years (approximately 3.25% of the purchase price), resulting in a cash-free tax deduction. Take the duplex purchase price, excluding the land, then divide that amount by 27.5 to get an annual depreciation deduction.

DEPRECIATION
EXAMPLE

You purchase a $669,000 duplex on $150,000 worth of land. You can depreciate $519,000 and write off $18,873 annually for 27 years. You also have the opportunity to deduct 100% of interest, taxes, HOA dues, maintenance, and fees.

2 - Equity Return

Whether you sell, perform a 1031 tax-free exchange, or execute a cash-out refinance, your gross equity will be returned in three (3) ways:

1. ASSET APPRECIATION

Houston has a track record of being one of the best long-term real estate investments in the U.S. According to NeighborhoodScout data, appreciation rates for homes in Houston have been tracking above average for the last decade.

The cumulative appreciation rate over the previous ten years has been 98.71%, which ranks in the top 30% nationwide. This equates to an annual average appreciation rate of 7.11% for Houston.

Based on the Zillow Home Value Index, Houston home values have appreciated by 4.2% in the last twelve months.

2. PRINCIPAL REDUCTION

Your tenant(s) make monthly rent payments that cover the mortgage payment, which reduces the principal amount due on the loan. Over time, the principal decreases while the equity increases.

3. RECOUP DOWN PAYMENT

Recapture your initial upfront cash requirement.
