Based on the limited info - back of the napkin says not to go any further on the duplex you're looking at unless you have deep pockets to carry it while you wait for the capital gain.

First, take a deep breath.

Keep a wide net of strategies until you find one or two that work ... and then deep into those. 

In many markets, there hasn't been a single deep discount sale of a multifamily property.

I have not.I’m so deep in this one I’m probably not starting over. 

I won't go to deep into short sales, but there are a ton of additional costs that are associated with a deal like this.

So if one can buy dirt at a reasonable price get it approved and built and filled up as stated above they will force equity and have a very good investment that is worth a ton more when completed etc. the issue out this way is finding any dirt you can actually build a park on  most cities wont allow them then you have the other barriers to developement and absorption like I mentioned above these all factor into it.. out in the mid west and deep south one can buy a park for 7 to 10 cap all day long.. in OR WA CA your going to find it difficult to find a park above a 4 to 5 cap.

Both of them expect you to deep dive into your Business (generic and not focusing on real estate).
