A duplex is a type of residential building that is divided into two separate living units, each with its own entrance and typically mirroring each other in layout. These units are usually located side-by-side and share a common wall, roof, and sometimes a backyard. A duplex is a perfect housing option for two independent families who value more space than apartments can offer.

The cost of a duplex for sale can differ significantly depending on its location, condition, and the real estate market. On Rentberry, we gather statistics and follow monthly price changes for every property type. You can check the most recent data when searching for a duplex in your city to learn more about current market trends.

It might be a great investment, if you know what your goals and objectives are. Many people choose to buy a multi-family house thanks to its potential for rental income. It is common for homeowners to live in one unit while renting out the second one. This strategy can help offset the mortgage cost and other expenses associated with owning the property.

Generally, the minimum credit score required to qualify for a conventional mortgage loan to purchase a duplex is 620. However, some government-backed loans, such as FHA, accept lower credit scores, and it’s worth checking all the possible alternatives before applying for a mortgage. What’s more, we recommend paying attention to your credit score in advance, as a higher score might help you save money in the long run.
