It might cause me financial harm as I have to sell more stocks and might pay short term capital gains vs long term capital gains.

Buy and holding is the best way to building financial freedom.

If you can get financial support to get a duplex/triplex, I would recommend this.

If you do have to move because of a job, you would be safest (in my opinion, i am not giving legal advice or financial advice), i would sell that property to ensure that you did not just purchase with the goal of moving out early and taking advantage of lower rates and lower down payments for purchasing your home as a primary residence. 

I guess you could offer up your property OOS, not sure how an affected victim would get there, if they have financial means, they could fly there or drive there, if they still have their cars. 

@Serge Hounkponou Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

It’s astounding how many fake documents are circulating today—you can find everything from fake references and stolen Social Security numbers to falsified income documents.To combat this, we rely on tools like Plaid, Verifast, and Snappt, which are excellent for verifying financial information and detecting fraudulent activity.

The key is to ensure the HELOC doesn’t turn into a long-term financial burden if the partnership doesn’t pan out.

The seller does get benefits, but they aren't necessarily financial.

Each option has different implications, so choose based on your financial goals.
