After years of focusing on my career and building financial stability, I’m ready to dive into real estate investing and start creating passive income and long-term wealth.My short-term goal is to purchase my first duplex or single family rental. 

Purchase price: $137,000 Cash invested: $90,000 Sale price: $285,000 This was a single family home in Bates Hendricks.

So pretty good equity position within a year plus cash flowing well based on a $325k purchase price.

These estimated costs should then be reconciled back to actual costs or the purchase price.Have you had a cost segregation study performed?

Quote from @Roger D Jones: Quote from @Fred Scott: @Roger D Jones:  Any insights on why the North Carolina purchase in Fund IV makes you nervous?

I have a unique plan for getting ADU's done quickly and economically.

You can purchase a primary home with seller financing, then rent out the spare rooms to generate income.

You mentioned you haven't purchased an investment property before or been involved with seller financing transactions.

The first purchase is always a huge learning experience.

I saw how that proposal is basically her giving me a 0% loan, but at the same time I believe that structure will avoid her taking a large loss (approximately 30k if she accepts a 300k offer).I do not know why she doesnt get a PM, I only share the facts of when she purchased it, the purchase price, and the reasoning she shared with my realtor as to why she is selling after such a short time period.
