Hello, my name Leul Wolde, I'm 19 and I'm thinking about investing in real estate in the famous stack method.

I have friends who do well in rural towns, but they live in those areas and either do the work themselves or have relationships in the area to manage/maintain them.

Sounds like a tough sell; if she's sentimental about the house, she probably doesn't want to see it become apartments for strangers.I can't even convince my friends with no kids to live in duplexes... they are just too content to pay $1,500/month for the privilege of not having to hear footsteps above them every once in a while.

Then I started looking into the BRRR method but after reading some reviews about the hard mongley lenders I’m not sure if that is the way I want to go anymore.

A friend went to Denver, CO interviewed a job wanting to look at a few homes as basis for relocation. 

I’m running the numbers and thinking the whole traditional method of buying a rental asset and it requiring very little active work, generating significant sustainable free cash flow over a long period of time, does not exist.

In my opinion the best way to find any type of professional is to get recommendations from family, friends, coworkers, etc...

If I were you I would definitely recommend looking around more to see if any of your local lenders advertise as being military friendly or if they specialize in VA loans.

I also have ideas of building a town home or rental community but there is a lot of work needed with talking to the city, environmental study, financing, low income vs not, etc.
