        "text": "The loan application process for a duplex often requires a lender to assess the property's potential rental income, which can be factored into your borrowing capacity. Lenders may require a larger down payment for multi-unit properties and will scrutinize the property's condition and marketability more closely. It's advisable to get pre-approved and work with a lender experienced in investment properties to understand specific requirements for duplexes in areas like Palm Beach County.",
