Trying to assemble a team of investor friendly agent possibly in the Craven County area. 

Drue, looking at your family friend’s property, there’s definitely some room to maneuver here.

Sharing your vision with real estate professionals, local investors, or even family and friends might uncover unexpected opportunities.

MF with many garages to convert to ADUs, parcel splits, full on development, coop/tic with the resources to handle financing challenges, etc.To raise money in this market as a newby will also be challenging unless you can get it from friends and family.

Quote from @Nathan Frost: Hi, I have friends saying there are lenders that do 5% down. 

Friends with rentals have generally indicated that the cosigner is either nowhere to be found or ignores all communication when needed.

Ask them questions to make sure they're not just a friend, like the address or other details the landlord would only know.

I just told my investor friend who has LLCs about the Corporate Transparency Act.

I have a friend that is in my GB pod who is a patent attorney but loves real estate - he's constantly wanting to leave his gig and go into real estate.

Not sure the current status, but I would say Plano is not AirBnB friendly.
