After a Valentines purchase as well as a couple others, I was able to convince him this was a good move.

You can use this property to hedge any others that you add that may only cover themselves, or require supplement until they are paid off.HOWEVER, if you have decided that your goal is to use Real Estate as a stepping stone to build wealth by upgrading the property you hold each time (condo to house, house to 4-plex, 4-plex to 8 unit, etc) then I think you are right to sell now while you think the property is at the top of it's appreciation.It will be hard for anyone on BP to tell you what to do as we don't know your goal.You are right. 

Buying a large new build home can also work well as a house hack as you can charge a premium rent, and generally most bedrooms built now a days have en suites (at least in my market).  

Owner financing as a buyer is a great tool to use.

Indeed - I see bright future for North Carolina as a whole and for all major population centers like Charlotte metro, Research Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) and the Piedmont Triad region (Greensboro-Winston Salem-High Point).
