If a seller is going to remove the property from the market while you conduct your due diligence, they want to have assurance that the buyer is serious, and an earnest money deposit held in escrow (which is refundable in accordance with the terms of the contract) during the buyer's due diligence period is the typical protocol with all the sellers I know and have dealt with.

I think I've Found It!!! After a month of analyzing deals for practice. I think I've found the first true Duplex I want to pursue! However, currently, the location has tenants in so I can't get a good look at the prop...
