Unfortunately, there are very few duplexes in Raleigh and the surrounding area and the few that are available are definitely not for sale for an amount that would make sense from a numbers perspective.

@Derek P.No themoney can be reinvested in more houses as it seems you are doing now and it can always be taken out of the IRA with or without penalty- so it depends on your circumstances. 

I do know that the seller is older and looking to get out of the business after 38 years but he still has a mortgage on the car washes so I don't think seller financing would even be an option unfortunately.

Unfortunately, Fidelity will not give me access to their approved list.

That's definitely unfortunate especially after you went through Vrbo. 

Under no circumstances would I let them stay.

The strategy has to be adjusted for your own particular circumstance and interest rates relative to rent are a big factor.

Unfortunately due to technological glitches I missed out on my first 8 months of accountability pods.

otherwise, unfortunately, most properties in decent areas won't cash flow at all, especially with DSCR debt.
