Austin Duplexes

Davis Investment rates Austin duplexes as one of their most popular investments for themselves and their clients. Duplex neighborhoods in Austin vary dramatically from area to area. Like most metros, Austin enjoys diverse demographics and there are many duplexes to choose. The Davis Investment philosophy for the real estate investor is to buy duplexes with average or above rental capital in order to provide the highest profit margin for your investment. We achieve this by assisting our investors in selecting the very best location for their investments dollars. A higher quality real estate equates to better appreciation, more responsible tenants and in some cases lower maintenance costs.

Presently, the recommended rent on an average range for 2 bedroom / 2 bath investment in Austin is $800 / a month, which is a great place to start. At this range tenants will typically maintain care of a rental property, which in turn keeps the investors expenses low. When it comes time to sell these properties an investor will attract owner occupants and also other investors.

Here are a few facts about Duplexes:

• Classified as Residential Real Estate

A duplex is still considered residential real estate. Any property under 4 units resists the label of “commercial real estate”.

• Provides Diversification of Investment

A real estate investor can purchase five two unit properties in different areas that will effectively spread their risk out, instead of purchasing all investments in one central location. It is easier to sell off one or two properties that aren’t profitable if needed than selling the whole list of property investments in a lot.

• They Blend into Neighborhoods

Duplexes are multifamily properties that look and feel more appropriate in a residential setting. A duplex can “blend” in unlike a larger unit building.

• Double the Cash Flow of a Single Unit Property

Cash flow is important in any investment. Simply put, duplexes help double that potential.
