Two doors per closing. That is the whole strategy.

Buying one rental at a time is slow, and every closing costs you the same in time and fees whether you get one door or two. New-construction duplexes scale differently.

Why duplexes scale better than houses

• Two doors, one closing. One loan, one title, one set of costs, two rent checks.
• One roof, one foundation, one permit. Cost per door drops the moment you stop buying single houses.
• One address to manage. Two tenants in one building is a different workload than two tenants across town from each other.
• Vacancy hurts half as much. One side empty is not zero income.
• New construction, new problems — meaning none yet. No 1970s galvanized plumbing, no roof with four years left. Your maintenance line starts near zero and the building is insurable to today's wind standards.

How investors finance it

• Conventional at 20–25% down for a non-owner-occupied investment property.
• More down for stronger cash flow — several of our clients deliberately put more in to get the monthly number where they want it.
• All cash. Some write one check and refinance later.

Do not have a banking relationship for this? We have connections with several lenders and we will connect you with them. We are not the lender, and we receive no compensation for referring you.

Build once, then repeat

The first duplex is the hard one, because everything is new: the lot search, the lender, the permit office, the lease-up. The second one is not hard. Same plan, same crew, same process, and by then you know what to expect from every step.

That repetition is the actual product. Most of our portfolio clients are not real estate professionals — they are business owners and working professionals who built one, saw it work, and kept going.

In-house portfolio management — 10+ doors

What we hand you at the end

• A new building, to modern code, with a written builder warranty
• A written budget and timeline you were not surprised by
• Lender connections if you need them, and property manager referrals if you want them
• Somebody who picks up the phone after closing — that is the part investors tell us they did not get from their last builder

The honest part

Rents move. Insurance in Louisiana moves more. Vacancy is real, tenants stop paying, and a building does not appreciate on a schedule. Anyone selling you a rental portfolio without saying that is selling you something else. We would rather build three duplexes with you over five years than sell you one you regret.

Start with one

Bring us your target number — doors, or monthly cash flow, or both — and we will map what it takes to get there and how long. Free consultation, no commitment.
