I've always thought that a duplex was a best arrangement for someone who can't go all in for a detached. I mean it might be obvious ... but the no maintenance fee is the good part, most maintenance fee is in the $400 range and up now. I know that some of it you will use for regular maintenance. But even if you can use $250 of that towards your mortgage instead ... you're still ahead. Nice condos for about the same (1200+) sq ft and number of bedrooms are going for $1.2-1.3M so why not go in a bit more like $1.5M for a duplex. Just vet your neighbour well!
