You can't arbitrarily decide that you don't want to allocate any of the proceeds to the portion of the property that will create Ordinary income recapture (thus can't be included in the installment sale treatment) - it should technically be allocated amongst all the assets in accordance with their fair market value at the time of the sale. 

For those that are in the MTR space, what types of clients are you targeting?   are your getting traveling nurses, business professionals, displaced families, insurance claims etc?

Recently I saw the duplex that is DIRECTLY across the street from my property come on the market, and I would love love love to jump on the opportunity to buy this property as well. 

You can offer them cash or different terms to vacate if you wish, but they don't need to oblige.

I appreciate your thoughts and am absolutely keeping an eye on the market, resales, etc.

I'd build on an infill lot closer to downtown. you can get land within the downtown markets and construct multifamily properties through the same process and higher units and better floorplans. we just passed our first triplex in central ohio and are breaking ground in 3 weeks. 

SF houses are easier to maintain, have greater appreciation rates, and appeal to a bigger buyer market.

I personally am located and invest in the Colorado Springs metro area and would advise that you may not find many BRRRR opportunities on-market and will have to do some work to find these deals off-market. 

We've worked with hundreds of contractors in Atlanta metro and dozens of HML in the SE market.
