There are more factors to consider here but from a surface level, it seems your $ will go further in another market or perhaps locally with a different property type (i.e. small multifamily).Lastly, I like @Andrew Jennings Freerks' point regarding claiming hardship or another workaround for keeping your unit as a rental.

Hey Scott,Yes, house hacking into a new place and holding the duplex a couple of more years is one of my top options I'd say as I figure in 2 years I will also have the experience to be approved for commercial property as well as more equity assuming the market doesn't tank!

A duplex is a great way to get your feet wet in multifamily investing, giving you two rental incomes under one roof, which can be a great balance between cash flow and passive income.I’d also suggest looking at markets that offer solid rental returns.

I personally have never known a bank to sell a property off market.

The appraised value is exactly what I estimated, as well as the market rent and expenses.

Whether it be in the Northeast, South, wherever...I'm looking particularly for the difference in market rent for a drive thru vs non drive thru location.

It was previously believed that the use of an IDGT not only removed the trust assets from the decedent’s estate for estate tax purposes but also resulted in a basis adjustment to the fair market value of the trust assets on the decedent’s date of death.

Contracts are not for when things go right, they're designed for when things go wrong.
