Long term hold, with buyer planning on carrying existing financing to term without the ability to quickly cure default — terrible strategy with huge risk for both parties.   

What is your plan? 

For the BRRRR process I plan on using a hard money lender for the rehab process for the SFH's but what I'm not sure of is, should I purchase a duplex and rent one unit out and live in the other or should I just rent for now, not purchase a duplex and just purchase a SFH with cash and start BRRRR'n immediately?

Do you plan on using a quitclaim deed? 

At least plan B does not sound a complete bad idea now.Thank you!

I plan to use it for maintenance requests, too, but so far no maintenance issues.

Good point, if you have plans to sell in the near future, could be better to wait.

I don't plan to hire an outside group. 

The unit they vacate unit goes on the market, giving the next person an opportunity to move out of their parent's basement, or get their first apartment.
