Have 230k-300K in equity, moving, what to do?

[Paul H.]

We  we are moving, from Indianapolis to Asheville.  

Where we are:

1. I have a good job that make 3-6k month. 

2. My wife has a business that makes 1.5-3k month.

3. 4 month old.

4. I know lots of people who would loan money, for a good deal.

5. ~$270K in total equity.

6. Must buy a house in Asheville this year.

Goals:

1. Financial freedom.  I would prefer to work only on my real estate investment.

2. Travel without limit.

3. Financial stability for my family.

What I'm thinking:

1. BRRR in Asheville for a multifalily, a la @Brandon Turner

a) Direct mail, I did it for a previous business and it worked well.

2. Standard mortgage duplexes in Indy

a) I have a lot of contacts there and plant to go back often.

b) The MLS has many $145-190k duplexes that rent for $900-1000 a side.

What do you guys think I should do?
