I’d love to hear your experiences, especially if there were unexpected benefits or challenges.Looking forward to your insights! 

Depending on comfort and cash, it might be a viable option as you can build equity and then sell without having capital gains, assuming it's your primary residence and you've lived there for 2 years.

How many years managing is equivalent to the benefit of the 20% down? 

That self-sufficiency test is sometimes the killer on 3-4 units, but the conventional 5% down option has benefits too and that's how I got into my first multi-unit househack.

I am eager to learn the in's and out's of Charlotte residential real estate market as well as gain some experience flipping houses while turning a healthy profit for myself and investors. 

Not the most scalable method, but I like the benefits it affords me while I am still a smaller operation.Completing 500 builds in just over 10 years is impressive for someone who just sorta fell into it.
