Apartments, Duplexes and Triplexes Print
Written by Greg   

This review of Apartment Housing includes Duplex and Triplex properties. We define some property factors used by property owners who decide whether to manage residential property as Apartment Homes versus selling the property as homes, condominiums, townhouses, or other uses. We look at the revenues provided by apartment residents, the associated costs, and some variables that improve rent rates and occupancy rates.
