Beautiful renovation and design choices!

You don’t really have a choice.

They have the choice of finding their own insurance or they can be automatically enrolled in my master policy.

While traditional loans might be tough with current interest rates and no W2s, there are definitely creative financing options and strategies to consider.One possibility is exploring seller financing.

These dishonest lawyers will start adding on all kinds of BS and start running the cost up so much as time goes on that you have no choice. 

Quote from @Henry Clark: Quote from @Jake Andronico: Quote from @Arn Cenedella: @Jake AndronicoI’ve looked into them but have never executed one.Let me say they will be expensive and complicated.I think what you will find if one is trying to defer $50,000 to $100,000 in gain, it’s not going to be worth the time and trouble.On the other hand, if client is trying to defer gain of $500,000 to $1,000,000, it’s worth the time and trouble.I use First American Exchange for my own account a dozen times and they have been right on the money.Google them and reach out.ArnIt's definitely more expensive than a traditional 1031 exchange, but being able to secure properties upfront can be super convenient.   

But I’ve never personally invested in real estate using business credit more traditional for my first property, so I’m always curious when clients say they want to use this funding for a real estate deal.Here’s where I get stuck:Real estate deals can be risky, especially if the project takes longer than 12 months to close or unexpected costs pop up.With prices climbing, it feels like the margin for error is smaller than ever.Would you recommend someone use business credit to invest in real estate?

Is there a reason why you are set on a traditional duplex? 

It's personal choice. 

Hi Kendric, Ohio, and other midwest cities are good choices for low-price entry.
