The flip could build your confidence fast, but the duplex might offer long-term stability.

Flexibility in Loan Terms: Josh offered a unique hybrid product that let my friend lock in a portion at a fixed rate while leaving the rest variable.

Less oversupply with that product type and more renters that were renting the more expensive bigger cabins are choosing the lesser ones because they love the area but don't want to spend as much on rent.We've talked with several long time investors out there and there isn't a one that have held on to their cabins over time that aren't still adding more. 

@Thomas FarrellRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@Danielle Tran, if its not in the lease they cannot make you stop selling those products.

If you are too busy to go see a whole bunch of properties in person, meet PMs, and help with getting your first property stabilized... you may want to wait until you have more time.Not trying to be negative, just realistic.

Everytime i engage in a product its more unexpected money being required and I just do not like that.Good information.

I've personally undertaken BRRRRs that took me 6 months to stabilize but part of that for me is the BRRRRs being an out of state side hustle I suppose.
