Partial or Split 1031/121On this I am less familiar, but I am quite sure one can perform a partial 1031, giving the 1031 treatment to the investment portion of your equity, and I am pretty sure this goes for the 121 home sale exclusion as well, so that *I think* an option might theoretically be to do a 1031 with the investment side of the duplex and a 121 with the side you're living in.

I imagine you could get the seller for breach of contact or sue them for specific performance if they tried to sell to someone else....

You have to really perform a risk benefit analysis.

@Jessica Zolotorofe  that what I thought but its not the case in Indiana.. there is no liquidated damages in the RMLS forms.. and they can and will sue you to perform... on 3 homes we had in contract.. my agent and the seller got in a twist ..

Commission based income tends to drive better performance I suppose. 

Double - digit yielding, performing in 90 days units in B-C neighborhoods we know and trust.

This is incredibly hard task especially for my price range (under $160k).
