You should look into mid-term renting to traveling nurses or government contractors. You can often time sign a contract with the health care agency or government agency who pays you for however many months the client stays. The result is they pay you upfront and revenues are oftentimes higher than that of short term rentals. Great story!
You are on your way to creating a property empire. Take your equity out of the first property and do it again. I did similar to what you did, and I was able to buy another property every second year until I had eleven units.
@ZavHustles I'm South of Nashville and will be starting my build soon. I'm thinking of getting my builders license like they did here so a contractor isn't fully in charge of my entire build
@ZavHustles well if you are your own contractor you'd save a ton of money by not paying one to custom build your property. You'd just be contracting out the labor yourself (plumber, electrician, roofer, etc)
Very smart to do this. The loan and duplex is considered owner-occupied. Even if you build it, you live in one side. You get better terms for the loan. Very motivated, young people doing the right thing.
Just so people watching this understand, you can build a duplex that's very small. For example, a small 600 sq ft per side shotgun-style duplex can be self-built for 1/10th the cost of the house in this video. The 600 sq ft is a common minimum square footage allowed in most areas of the US. My point is don't let the big numbers in this video scare you away from owning a duplex.
I love the idea and thank you guys you did a tremendous job. and give so many dreams the courage to do it. I will definitely try to do this in the future.
Both of you are very good investors..The duplex home looks so amazing. You guys did a phenomenal job. I love you, hold down the core every picture you put into that duplex ..I’m definitely going to reach out to you..when I’m ready to purchase me a home..!!
I will as well. Reach out and touch a home purchase is limited.. but i think i am willing to relocate as well.. Arkansas or even Virginia.. or Utah.. Idaho.. narrowing it down with a low retirement spot and still accessible for trips out of the state.😮🎉🎉🎉
i'm sure lot of commenters are from CA or TX thinking the same thing... that's a damn good bargain! here contractors charge 20-30k just for plumbing to be upgraded. congrats to you
It's great to see you guys accomplished one of your goals. I will be contacting your agency Ms. Nicole very soon concerning buying a home. I love your expertise.
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for sharing. Can you do a video of a step by step outline of what is needed to get this done. Like credit scores, are there zoning restrictions, do you need to have a real estate license? Again thank you for sharing.
Great video! And I watched your breakdown of the estimated vs actual costs video, too! Just curious what the LTR (long term rental) income would be for one of your units? And it looks like you took out a $500K mortgage @ 25% down and 6% interest rate to payoff the construction loan and build a nice nest egg for yourselves and for rainy days! 😊
Wow I’m soo pissed and happy, jealous yet proud of yall. This definitely triggers buyers remorse for my situation 340k sfh in Dallas Texas. (I’m single BUT, I’m exempt from taxes so it’s manageable)
How do you choose finishes ? Are you buying at local home depot lowes or a local supplier or online ? I always think of how Im going to replace this item is it easily accessible.
We source materials from a variety of places but mostly local builder supply stores. Durability definetly stayed top of mind when we picked out the finishes and hopefully if we need to replace items in the future, we can find them or something similar!
Question, did you have to get a permit for the duplex build or was the lot already zoned for a duplex? Also how did you find a builder or GC to build the duplex?
We did need to obtain building permits! The lot we built on was already zoned properly for duplexes so there was no need to re-zone. Kachi is a licensed builder so he was the one who oversaw the build! Would it be helpful for us to make a video of how to find a good GC?

Thank you! The easiest way to get into house hacking is to buy a multifamily property. You can buy a 2-4 unit property with an FHA loan (as little as 3.5% down) as long as you occupy one of the units! Buying is going to be more straight foward as building does come with additional hoops to jump through!
It would be dependent on any financing stipulations! For example, we don’t have a certain timeframe that we must occupy the home. However, if we were to purchase this duplex with something like an FHA loan for house hacking, we would be required to occupy it as our primary residence for one year. Hope that helps!
Thank you Nicole! My partner and I don’t have much for a down payment and would like to build with an fha loan or something similar as a hack to get into real estate investing and would like to sell soon after building. Thanks again for your input!
Absolutely, the best way to go. One needs to however, move further away from the urban area to get a nice piece of property and a decent price. The urban areas now have overpriced old homes so it would not be cost feasible. One property at a time is the way to go for anyone to create their property empire. Just do initial savings so you can put as much money upfront, with the ridiculous interest rates that are presently available. Your duplex layout is clean, like in Germany. Hope you have great tenants renting.
Thanks for sharing. I think I need to leave Texas. Homes that are 250k are around 500 a month for taxes alone. Might need to move back to Kentucky were taxes around 75 a month shoot.
We took out a construction loan for the duplex that we will be refinancing, most likely into a conventional loan. Although we could have pulled the equity out with a cash out refi, we decided against it and opted for a lower mortgage payment for now!
@@NicoleNark Good strategy! Thanks for being honest. Me and wife just bought our first home and are looking to buy another. Always good to hear others testimony
I know you provided a high level account of the cost breakdown, but can you cover the costs associated with knocking down the existing home and carrying costs on the mortgage to do so? Or were those costs covered in that initial 28k plus 33k you already highlighted? I’m very curious to know what happens to the first mortgage payment when you buy a plot with an existing home on it.
We discuss the specific costs for knocking down the existing home in the full cost breakdown video! But to answer your question, the cost was part of the cash we invested in the project. We took the house down before taking out the construction loan to start the build.
Taxes will follow the land value only until the property is complete and the end value has been assessed. For this reason, propety taxes will change between the first and second year you own a new construction home.
Our construction loan converted into permanent financing after completion of the build. Now instead of just paying interest (as we did throughout the build process), we make principal and interest payments. There is only one loan. Hope that helps!

What did you guys do with the first single home yall brought before the duplex construction?
What is the Lot size?
You should look into mid-term renting to traveling nurses or government contractors. You can often time sign a contract with the health care agency or government agency who pays you for however many months the client stays. The result is they pay you upfront and revenues are oftentimes higher than that of short term rentals. Great story!
Great point! This is something that we have looked into but not thoroughly. Definitely a solid option as well ☺️
What state did you do your project in? If you don't mind disclosing. Location is everything and housing prices are crazy in certain areas.
@@cyrilhall3845yes please answer this.
What type of government contractor?
@@ddub2801 Google it
You are on your way to creating a property empire. Take your equity out of the first property and do it again. I did similar to what you did, and I was able to buy another property every second year until I had eleven units.
That's the goal!
Do you show how ?
Did you build duplexes to add housing to the market or did you just hoard housing that had already been built?
@@josephsands7938 I purchased existing dilapidated homes, and apartment buildings and renovated them back into rentable housing stock.
@@josephsands7938what difference does that make? To you?
27k for the lot and 290k for build seems insanely good for what you guys got, that same build woulda been 2-3x more here in Nashville
Nashville construction costs are super high, but your home values are also much higher!
@@NicoleNark not even just the construction but the land as well
@ZavHustles I'm South of Nashville and will be starting my build soon. I'm thinking of getting my builders license like they did here so a contractor isn't fully in charge of my entire build
@@professionalismwithpassion what does a license allow you to do exactly?
@ZavHustles well if you are your own contractor you'd save a ton of money by not paying one to custom build your property. You'd just be contracting out the labor yourself (plumber, electrician, roofer, etc)
Very smart to do this.
The loan and duplex is considered owner-occupied. Even if you build it, you live in one side. You get better terms for the loan.
Very motivated, young people doing the right thing.
Thank you! We have found it to be an awesome strategy.
What an awesome idea and smart investment! A breakdown of the costs around the build itself would be great! Thank you!
Noted! We are working on the video with a cost breakdown ☺️
@@NicoleNark that was absolutely awesome. Great way to think out of the box. Can't wait to see the breakdown
@@smitty8350 thank you! The cost breakdown is out now ☺️

Wow! And I thought our plumbers charged a lot 👀
Wow! You two are very transparent
The house looks great! Can you give us a full video house tour? Would love to watch...
Very inspiring!! Is possible to share the floor plans?
Great Style!

I love the exterior paint. What color is that?
Love you guys
The units look amazing! Smart planning is key, I wish I had that earlier in my life.

Great work! Where do you rent this out at? do you strictly keep it a short term rental? Or mix of median and long term rent too?
Congratulations! Can you tell us about cost breakdown for construction?
Absolutely! Do you have any specific questions you’d like us to answer? Or just general cost breakdown between the trades?
This thought crossed my mind too.
looks great👏🏾
Thank you!
Can you share the building plans? I love the layout.
My Boy Kachi. Great Stuff man.
Beautiful home!
Thank you so much!
This is awesome
Thank you!
I was planning on doing something similar. Very interesting.
Definitely worth looking into!
Wow. Great job!
Thanks!
Beautifully!!! Amazing! 🤗🙏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙏🏿🤗
Thank you so much!
What are some of the maintenance cost you've incurred after building and renting? Great video and info. Thanks for sharing.
Are you serious??? You did it again......Bravo!!!!!!
Thank you so much! 🥰
How many beds how many baths?
What flooring was used?
We used vinyl plank with tile in the bathrooms
Wow that's amazing. Congrats.
Thank you so much 😀
Did you do the construction loan as individual/personal loan or business loan? Did you do loan with a big bank or a local bank? Thanks
We use a local bank. The loan was for business with a personal guarantee
Thanks for sharing and not being a gate keeper.
Great video! And I watched your breakdown of the estimated vs actual costs video, too! Just curious what the LTR (long term rental) income would be for one of your units?

How long did it take you to complete build
This is awesome, where are you located?
Arkansas
You guys have blueprints available?
What a great project to take on especially since it's allowing for a mortgage free living! Always great content from your channel.
Thanks for tuning in, Jessie! This has been a fun project for sure ☺️
Why the “?” mark? Are you asking if you’re living free?
lol good question! I guess I was hoping to make people like you curious!
Very very nice! 👌🏾
Thank you! 😊
Great job guys! Where are you located?
Arkansas
Can you share where did you purchase the plans for this duplex ?
Awesome!!!
Thanks!!☺️
Outstanding... I didn't know new builds could be financed... That's a game changer...
I am assuming they got the loan after the build was done....similar to a refi
They can definetly be financed! Check out my video on construction loans for more details on how they work. They are a GAME CHANGER!
You nailed it. What city are you? Would be interested in getting something in that city?
Their in Arkansas
I live in Virginia, how do you think I can get a hold of a good builder ? or should I be hiring separately?
How wonderful
Thank you! 😊
$72 in taxes is nothing, I pay 1k a month in texas, where do you guys live.
We are in AR. Property taxes here are much lower than in TX but we have income tax.
It’s all good over there, I’m in commyfornia,tax’s here are ridiculous 🇺🇸🥺
$72 left after taxes are accounted for
What!! 1k for tax? Mine is 10k per year wtf!! I live in ohio
@@samlocoaa1726 1k a month, roughly 12k a year
Wow I’m soo pissed and happy, jealous yet proud of yall. This definitely triggers buyers remorse for my situation 340k sfh in Dallas Texas. (I’m single BUT, I’m exempt from taxes so it’s manageable)
I’m interested in a cost breakdown!
You got it! I’ll have it out next ☺️
I wanna get into real estate too, hopefully I can learn from ur vids 🙌
You can do it! 🎉
Is that figure from Airbnb taking into account the expenses of cleaning & using the platform?
Where did they find a lot for $27,000? What city? In or outside city limits? Talk about a deal that is a deal!

Also curious what this property has or could appraise at? Have you gained enough equity to potentially cover that $60k out of pocket?
Thank you! We do have the unit listed on furnished finder as well but so far have not experienced the same success as with airbnb.
