If the property can be sold with conventional financing I am on the other side of things (and the minority) they seller financing is a bad idea due to the risk and the returns especially when considering tax ramifications The idea behind it would be that I sell using seller financing to continue to cash flow each month at a high effective rate with the amortization schedule and put a balloon after 7 years so that I can collect the full amount once the effective rate in the amortization schedule starts to balance out and not be so lucrative in my favor.I’d love to hear more of your opinion on that idea!

As for renting, going cash flow negative isn't great, and your home isn't likely to appreciate as fast as it would if it was a single family home, so holding with hopes of increasing appreciation may be a verrrry slow play, but if you can afford to hold, having a tenant pay down your mortgage is an additional great benefit to real estate investing.

I think the majority of the confusion likely comes from the fact that most all of the builders that have inventory on our marketplace are offering unique incentives like extensive rate buy downs, free PM & maintenance guarantees, up to 10% price reductions or up to 10% cash back, etc. 

Is there any potential for doing a cash-out refinance on the duplex and using those funds for the purpose of buying the property you want?
