Acquired a real estate agent.

If ARV is $103K, and someone has to sell it retail eventually, there's about $9300 in expenses to selling it. 103K-9.3K is 93.7K, for something acquired possibly at $83.5K + a few thousand in closing costs.

I have considered buying a duplex and renting out the other side, but I currently am trying to become as educated as possible to make certain that I am acquiring good deals.

Hi @Zach White, if you are looking to acquire some more rentals Brandon Turner's "The book on managing rental properties" is a great one.

I just acquired 3 occupied duplexes, a total of six units under a new LLC and a new loan, which are all managed by a local firm.

But if you are looking to "buy and hold" (or BRRR as we talk about on Bigger Pockets) then you may need 2 lenders - one to acquire the property and one to refinance.I would also suggest to post in the state forum here on Bigger Pockets what you are looking for. 

Don't worry about the market, worry about finding a good deal (whatever that might be to YOU) and having the ability to acquire it.

These are a collection of things that I have addressed: Before you acquire any property, spend some time reading a lot of articles and forum posts to get a grasp on the different ways you can make money in real estate.

I have the opportunity to acquire a 2nd note which is non performing with the intent of foreclosing and hopefully acquiring the first mortgage to do so. 

I’m looking to acquire one and would love to hear more of what you are doing in Fayetteville
