Stop Buying Duplexes. Your Garage Is Worth More.
Everyone chases duplexes when they start house hacking. Makes sense on paper.
But the real play? Single-family homes with ADU potential.
New zoning laws across the US now let you convert garages, basements, and backyards into legal rental units. No duplex premium needed.
Why this is the smarter move:
- SFH prices run 15-20% lower than comparable duplexes in most markets
- You get single-family appreciation rates (historically higher)
- ADU rental income rivals what a duplex unit brings in
- You control the timeline — build the ADU when you're ready, not day one
Stop overpaying for duplexes. Build your cash flow from what's already in your backyard.
