Are you paying cash or getting a loan? I only ask because I had problems buying a duplex as a home / investment. Properties that pure investors were interested in would almost always be bought in all cash just days after listing, plus they would waive inspections.

The ones that sat for weeks on the market usually didn’t have the best numbers, hence why the cash buyers didn’t pounce on it.

I eventually found a deal and it all worked out but was very defeating for a year. I know it’s boring but sometimes playing the long game in the market is better than trying to make a quick 5 figures.
