Most appraisers are not simply going to apply a sqft * mkt value per sqft to arrive at your appraised value, and 900 sqft per 2br duplex is typical.

In NJ, I can apply online and in say 5-10min have my LLC formed and go to the bank to open the bank account.I've never heard of a "below a dollar value" for flips. 

Hopefully this tells tenants the free ride is up and encourages them to apply.  

However, I have a fairly unique business skill set that I'd like to apply to the real estate "game" that will provide a ton of benefit to others who do wholesaling.

The decision was specific to the CDC moratorium, which applies to areas in which COVID numbers were very high.  

. - I am planning on establishing an interest list of prospective tenants and then flying and out to Texas to do a weekend long open house as well as inviting people to apply on zillow rental manager as well.

Would that apply to a multi unit?

Your metric of 1% looks like you are using a SFR metric which does not apply to multifamily properties. 

If you have to evict it will be a breeze since it is not residential the moratorium on evictions would have not applied. 

Make sure your rental criteria is written and applied consistently to every applicant with no exceptions.
