i understand a true duplex might be a lot more expensive, but i think it's at least worth continuing to research and keeping an eye on.and sticking to my original point, OOS can be tough. 

Based on the pricing below, the above ad wording is, as best very misleading and, at worst, is not at all true. 

That is for true commercial properties and LENDERS do not look at value that way.

Yes, it's true that you might be able to find a product you need at a greater discount when a brand like Wayfair or CB2 is having a sale, but I've found that they truly do offer superior discounts at scale, even considering the fee.

It's true that the market is softer in the higher prices but I'm not writing any offers anywhere near asking price in any price band in this market.

It sounds like there are a lot of techniqualities to this I will be studying on.
