What educational real estate avenues are GI Bill friendly?

I make about 70k a year from my salaried job and my friend makes double that.

While I know this isn't a lot in today's market, I believe there are creative ways to make it work.I’m a former foster child who was declared independent as a teen, so I've been living with close friends that I consider family.

I'm up at Lake Tahoe in the basin and there are many CA investors that have been investing in Reno, NV because of the low taxes, landlord friendly, and only 30 minutes from Truckee.

Has owner financing come up in your conversations with your friend from church?

Google is your friend on this one.

I've read BiggerPockets' Real Estate Investing book and am particularly interested in the house hacking strategy, as I'd like to move out of my current living situation.Our main dilemma is choosing between a single-family home (renting out one room to a close friend) or a multifamily property like a duplex or triplex.

@Jerry Maze What do you mean by investor friendly exactly?

We would love to connect with investors, as well as investor-friendly realtors and property managers in the northern Alabama region.Any insights into the local market or recommendations for neighborhoods to explore further would be greatly appreciated.

They may have used one of their friend's companies or something shady like that.
