Just make sure you are fluid with this info on each property so you do not buy wrong.  

Well, a lot of life happened and now I am getting back to zero no debt and I'll be renting for now and I am considering a duplex to buy cash or maybe land and some sort of unconventional home but still purchasing cash.

We are buying two houses right next to each other.

Jeffrey:I'm connected to a large group in Indy that focuses on buy & hold SF and apartment (commercial) residential real estate. 

I’ve had several deals like this on the buy side and sell side where the “gremlins” came out and started whispering against my intuitions.  

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

Are you considering moving to the market where you buy your next property?

In 2008 a friend of mine spend $300,000 to buy 100 houses in Detroit.  

Could help you save some serious $$ if buying and selling there and can also get you access to their MLS systems.

I'd save yourself from the headaches and just buy it with a DSCR loan.
