I'll be in the market for a duplex/triplex in the $400k range that I will owner occupy and use a 5% down loan.

Additionally, I would like to attempt to do the process Owner/Builder with subcontracting work out as well as doing some of the work I'm comfortable with (I have some experience with bathroom & kitchen remodeling an am not new to the construction industry).

My strategy would be to target properties which are most likely of the owner NOT redeeming.
