Fairbanks Multi-Family Homes for Sale

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a multifamily home?

A multifamily home is a residential property that includes multiple living units. The units have a common wall or roof/ceiling, but otherwise lack any interior connection and come with separate entrances. (Exterior spaces, if any, are usually shared). These buildings can accommodate several households, but ultimately have one sole owner and are on the same lot. Examples of multi-unit properties include duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, apartment buildings, etc.

What is a duplex house? Is a duplex a multifamily home?

A duplex is a multifamily property with two separate housing units. If you’re interested in two family homes for sale, know that there are several living options at your disposal. You can: occupy one of the units and rent out the other; live in both; or rent out both. All things considered, buying a duplex for sale comes with several advantages, as well as disadvantages. For example, if you choose to turn one or both living units into rental properties, the main benefit is earning extra income, which you can use to offset the mortgage on the property. Additionally, if you opt to occupy the entire building and have relatives move into the adjacent unit, you’ll be able to enjoy living close to family, while also maintaining household separation. However, purchasing a two family house for sale can ultimately require landlord responsibilities and/or obstruction of privacy.

Is a duplex a single family home?

A single family property is a standalone home typically occupied by one family, whereas a duplex can house two households because it connects two separate homes through an adjoining wall. As a result, a duplex house for sale is generally more expensive than a single family property.

Should I choose a duplex or a multifamily home as a real estate investment?

You can definitely consider a multifamily property for sale as an investment property for sale because you can rent out one, several, or all of the units in the building to produce passive income. Moreover, if you’re new to real estate investment, owning a multifamily property (such as a duplex) can be a great starting point for practicing your landlord skills.
