While I agree a lot of $ flows thru US, its still the everyday middle class person that drives the economy.I read two interesting datapoints today:1.

I am meeting one realtor today to get a better idea and opinion whether to sell or hold.

Most also work off of call lists that are incredibly outdated, so anything you do today likely won't have an impact for a while....I received a call from an idiot on Tuesday wanting to know if I would sell a piece of land.

So, what is happening today is not as important as what will happen in the foreseeable future.If rents are increasing faster than inflation (I use 5% per year as an average rate), then it may be worth holding the property, since your cash flow will increase as rents rise.However, in your post you stated, "Mortgage rates have kept increasing as well, that's why I put a range on negative cash flow."

You reduced the amount of untaxed capital gains you’re carrying forward but you didn’t create an expense or a deduction today.

How have you found success finding deals in today's market?

You can also think about a strategy that combines a house hack with a "live-in flip" where maybe the duplex isn't in a condition where you would want to live with your family when you purchase it, but you could do value-add renovations that improve your families day-to-day living but also the value and rental income for when you all move to the next property or sell.

Another alternative here could be refinancing although it is likely your rate is well below today's rates.This is not financial advice, I am not a lender... just sharing some insights that have been shared recently.
