I’ve only had 1 person look at it.

Congratulations on the duplex -My investor clients have acquired several multi-family investment properties locally in the market I operate in Northwest Indiana - Figure out your personal investment objective for the next 4 years and align yourself with the next property that make sense in this current market environment-

I also think most markets won't see anywhere close 6% cap rates (for single family homes which is what I personally invest in).The questions you get to ask are then:Is the extra 4% worth the hassle of management and lack of liquidity.   

They're long distance typically so viewing the space in person isn't usually a priority, and this saves you time from having to drive over and schedule facetime tours :)

I think any seller without much knowledge of being the lender would appreciate the added benefits and hassle free approach using a third party.

Research the options available, compare their benefits and risks, and decide which approach aligns best with your goals and preferences.House hacking is a great start.

Have met him personally a couple times and he is just a great guy all around. 

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn. 

I personally try to avoid extroverts because they are often incompetent and irritating.There's a difference between being an extrovert and being charismatic.

Conceptually you want to take an approach that minimizes your need to be on site - and for that reason I would advise against BRRRR.
