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.

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

Works just as well for a two family worth $1.2.

Quote from @Khon Kounbandith: Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I have family in Kansas City, MO area so I thought that would be a good place to start since I could visit properties while visiting family.

it will be a corporate/wellness retreat/short term rental destinationI need land that is close to the Action, but not too close, and preferably comes with two single family doors already built, so I can take advantage of Fannie Mae owner occupied loan and develop the rest of the land on my own and with private funding.Is Columbus a good market for this strategy?

Multi family isn’t as common as you’d find in other parts of the United States, but there are some good properties here to be had!

It’s a single family house that I bought for $160k.

I've been through situations like this.Hopefully the family pays rent and this becomes a non-issue.If they don't pay the rent, you need to be understanding and kind, but firm.
