Purchase price: $98,500 Cash invested: $15,000 owner financed on duplex, bought from a friend of the family. hopefully many more to comeHey @Jeffrey Eschbach, welcome to the BP Forum!

Good on your friend for suggesting house hacking a duplex.

I find AirBNB from a host stand point much more user friendly & advanced.

Are you both friends and have unique skill sets and are breaking up the duties of investing based on those skills?

A friend of mine from abroad plans to buy a property in CO or FL with a budget of $10 million, but she plans to use Bitcoin to pay for the house.

I am looking for recommendations for best financing options.The owner is considering financing it, but until they agree, I am planning as if they will not do so.The local credit union I use, who is very investor friendly, is unable to lend on properties larger than 4 units right now. 

I am not friends with these sellers but these sellers know that I am the best there is at what I do. 

Here’s a breakdown of some top areas:Cash Flow-Friendly NeighborhoodsWest Charlotte: Known for affordability and strong rental yields, West Charlotte offers opportunities in single-family and small multi-family properties.Gastonia: Just outside of Charlotte, Gastonia is a great spot for investors seeking cash flow.

For me it's family, friends, and the food.

My friend is a big investor in Provo and has connections there.
