There is a lot of new things about to break ground.

I have done some research on ADUs and have come to conclusion that getting a house near a hospital or good college area with a big yard to add an adu and convert gargae to junior adu would be best.

This is a sale for me.

I only need to work a few hours a week.

Here’s a breakdown of some top areas:Cash Flow-Friendly NeighborhoodsWest Charlotte: Known for affordability and strong rental yields, West Charlotte offers opportunities in single-family and small multi-family properties.Gastonia: Just outside of Charlotte, Gastonia is a great spot for investors seeking cash flow.

Even if it is only a 2 bedroom, great looking place.

I also did a 1031 exchange from a different property that gave me a bunch of cash for one of these purchases. 

To offset costs, I’m planning to buy a duplex and pursue a house-hacking strategy:1.Rent out one unit as a long-term rental.2.Live in the other unit and rent out the bedrooms as short-term rentals (STRs) through a furnished rental approach.Before diving in, I have a couple of questions:1.Can I use a property for both short-term and long-term rentals?

  $1,500 is a ton of money for a 17 year old.

Looks like you're ready to take a plunge.
