Quote from @Kurtis Carriere: I Am currently in the finishing stages of building my own house in Ontario, Canada and looking to sell and relocate to texas (likely DFW area)i have done 90% of the work on this project by myself so im confident in my ability to do any and all repairs on the property. 

So for the bookings we get on there, I am invoicing her monthly for the cleaning fees and then 18% of the rental rates for each booking.

But even then, seller financing is rarely substantially better than another investment they could make (including trust deed lending, which will often be at a higher rate than seller financing)In my experience, the owners who find owner financing advantageous are at the ends of their careers and are not interested in looking for another investment (other than the usual retirement funding sorts.)

How high can housing prices in the City of Detroit go?

Although the Joshua additional demand is smaller, it is closer to DFW, which means its rental rates will be higher. 

to your point, if you save up so that you're in a strong financial position, house hack a solid duplex in a decent neighborhood, make smart decisions, and hold it indefinitely, you'll be fine.conversely, if you have $0 and somehow start out with a risky flip, or borrow $20K and spend it all on a magic mentoring program, or buy a terrible property in a neighborhood you've never been to, you may not be fine.

If the cash-out refinance option isn’t providing enough liquidity, you could also consider a hard money loan, though these tend to come with higher interest rates and shorter terms.

You need a lot more pictures that showcase the great things about your house.

I wanted to buy another house to move and rent out my current house within 2 years.I am happy to find this place so I can imporve my skillset as a landlord

This would let you rent out the house for the next 3 years if you wanted and still get to take the gain.
