The purchase price of an average duplex in the United States is $250,000. With an FHA loan, you can purchase an owner-occupied duplex with just 3.5% down and a total up-front investment of approximately $21,250.

The annual cost of financing this property with an FHA loan would come to $15,871.80 (including principal, interest, and mortgage insurance). The initial cost of the operating expenses of the property would be approximately $11,400 per year (including taxes, insurance, water, sewer, garbage, repairs, maintenance, capital expenditures, and vacancy).

Given the average 3.2% annual rate of real estate appreciation, this duplex should be worth approximately $643,177.62 after 30 years.

The initial average expected rent on an average duplex like this is $1,200 per unit per month. This results in the initial gross rent from the tenant-occupied unit of $14,400 per year and the initial gross rent savings from the owner-occupied unit of $14,400 per year (for a total annual gain from rents of $28,800).

The average rent appreciation over the last 40 years has been 8.86% per year. Rent appreciation in 2021 has been even greater at between 11% and 13%. Assuming a more conservative rent appreciation of 4% over the course of 30 years of your ownership of this property and after subtracting the financing expense and operating expenses (also adjusted for inflation at 4%) the total rent/rent savings profit would come to $499,723.92.

So, over the course of 30 years of ownership, the total gain that you may be able to realize from owning a single, average-priced duplex would come to $1,121,651.54 ($643,177.62 + $499,723.92 - $21,250).

This is as basic of a real estate investment as one can make, almost anyone with a middle class income can afford it, and it does not require one to be an expert real estate investor. But, of course there are numerous ways in which this type of investment can be even more profitable: (1) finding an undervalued, off market deal rather than paying full market price, (2) forcing additional appreciation by improving the property, creatively reducing expenses, or increasing under-market rents, (3) repeating this strategy once a year for several years in a row to acquire several similar duplexes that can produce similar returns simultaneously, and/or (4) instead of pursuing this strategy with duplexes considering doing it with triplexes or quads to further multiply the gains.
