@Sebastian AlborsIn my experience, buying a single-family home (SFH) in Asheville and house hacking with a family member like your brother can be a smart way to balance costs.

Purchase price: $150,000 Cash invested: $6,000 Single family home investment property 30 minutes outside of Greensboro, NC.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

Like you said, you don't want to grow super fast so take your time and watch the mortgage markets.

They are buying NNN single tenant or NNN multitenant retail properties in TX, OK, SC, NC, GA, FL, AL, TN - the states to which the population is migrating and that have business/real estate friendly governments and lower taxes. 

My thought is that it's too small except maybe for a single person, and it takes a long time to dry with those ventless models....I'd either go with a real stacked unit or just tell them where the Laundromat is.....Hi Bruce.

Quote from @Nathan Gesner: Happy to hear you're leaning into a more proactive role - with a single portfolio that large I'd imagine your insight will be appreciated. 

I just can't imagine why you would liquidate your successful, growing real estate holdings to send your money off to something that is super risky and doesn't pay that well over the long term.

I've taken a couple real estate courses but Big Pockets is the best and I have been binge watching for the last 2 weeks and im super excited to start investing im looking to do the Brrrr strategy and looking to pick up small multi family properties and possibly off market flips.
