If I could use a USDA 524 Loan, construct a duplex, refinance when project is complete with a traditional mortgage, and then sell/rent the other side while I live in the property then it just may work out for me.This is a brainstorming  session for me and I was wondering if anyone had any tips at all or if this strategy seems viable? 

I'd love to hear about your experiences, especially if you learned anything from the panels/breakout sessions!

v=eWhzNr-6Y_EThere is a lot of great information on the first 2 sessions and I expect the 3rd session to have a lot of good information as well. 

I have attended a few and with Zoom there is the option to break out into rooms where attendees can network in between sessions.

But if you're in Columbia, I would encourage you to drive up to Charlotte and attend the Deal Makers Session.

We will record our discussion if you can't make it to our live session or our Zoom Room is too full.
