There are some conventional financing for owner occupants with 5% down. 

Do your due diligence on facebook groups as there are some GCs there also.

As for Raleigh, if you’ve already seen the success of Airbnb-ing rooms there, it’s worth exploring further, as it’s a growing market with plenty of demand.For alternative strategies in Greensboro, look into renting by the room, especially for professionals or students.

Like you, I have family there. 

We vacation for free every year, and rent them out while we aren’t there.

that's awesome @Tieirra Singleton I love those areas for real estate investing - there is so much potential for cash flow + equity build up.

There is an active lawsuit against Mr Djuric in Harris County.

Get a FHA loan, there are several other programs out there. 

I am planning to get my license as soon as I turn 18 and I was wondering if there is any way I can get involved in real estate while being under 18 and with no license but I also want to get paid?

Or could I 3 properties flow into one account and pay all expenses from there.
