3 Plano duplexes in high demand East Plano at $475k, fully remodeled. Identical 2 bed 2 bath roughly 900 sqft units that should lease quickly around $1,700 in a market that rarely struggles for tenant demand.

Fort Worth SFH plus ADU at $250k is exactly the kind of starter setup that gives you options instead of pressure. Live in the ADU and rent the main around $1,300, live in the main and lease the ADU long term or mid term from $1-$2k/mo+, or keep it as office /guest space once you are done house hacking. Small footprint but smart layout and location, low entry price, and real income potential without taking on a monster mortgage. Killer deal!

Richardson full duplex hiding in plain sight at $595k. This one will not show up in a lot of multifamily searches because it was listed as a single family half duplex, but it is in fact a rare full duplex in Richardson ISD. Fully remodeled 3 bed 2 bath units that rent around $2,400 per side. One side is move in ready and the other is leased for immediate income. Higher entry point, but strong school district, clean renovation, and true side by side layout make this a long term hold type asset in a high demand / low supply pocket.

Luxury new construction duplex in Midlothian priced at $700k with 4 bed 2 bath 2 car garage layouts on each side that should yield ~$3,000/month per unit and a rare 4.25% permanent rate buydown available through a preferred lender. Higher entry for a starter home buyer, but this is clean, zero capex risk housing in the direct path of long term south DFW growth. Live in one side with a modest net monthly cost for the asset class. This is a long runway hold that can quietly compound for a decade without the usual upkeep or tenant-turnover headaches.

2018 build in Midlothian with 3 bed 3 bath per side opening up the option for 2 roommates in owner-occupied unit each having their own bath. Strong $2,000 per unit rent potential upon move-out. Clean, low capex asset in the path of growth. Main hurdle is lease timing since both sides are tied up through 2026, so you would need a clear primary occupancy plan written into the contract (adjusting 1 lease to month to month or serving a notice to vacate within 60 days of closing). Structurally strong deal, just requires patience and good execution.

Classic Sherman duplex one block off the hospital in the middle of “Silicon Prairie”. Clean 2 bed 1 bath units with leases in place around fair market rent, Nothing flashy here, just a stable asset in a strong corridor where timing owner occupancy around the early/mid 2026 lease expirations is the main moving piece.
