Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Duck Creek Village.

I agree that is will be a gamble as to how well it will do.Also, ask the owner if they will entertain partial owner financing to keep from dragging family and friends into this risky business venture.Maybe even rent from owner for a year with right to sublease to see how it goes before committing to a purchase.

Quote from @Najeh Davenport:  Hey BP family, I’m hoping to get some advice because I’ve hit a bit of a roadblock with a refinance, and I’m not sure what my next steps should be.

I grew up in North Florida so I have a lot of family, friends and business contacts in that area.  

Welcome to the BiggerPockets family!

For now, staying local allows me to leverage my property management experience—most of which came from working directly for family and close business associates who were property managers, contractors, and business owners.

Curious as to thoughts on building ADU’S for equity in LA / SoCal market.Search BP forums for appraisals associated with California ADU additions in single family zones.

But again, as mentioned, get fam with COC, Cap, IRR, etc.You said later you had $80k to invest in a multi family.

With a budget of $300K-$400K, you could potentially find single-family homes or small multi-units in those areas.I'd recommend researching rental demand near universities like Duke or NC State or even checking out neighborhoods with strong job growth near tech hubs.
