You don't have to do anything with the money and there's no time limits or anything.2.

I'm curious what others have run into when comps are very limited. 

Most of the advice you get on BP is limited to the real estate sand box (duh.) - in 2025 your energy is better spent on a business than a duplex that cashflows $200 or less.

The area’s limited number of apartment buildings means that many renters prefer single-family properties, creating steady demand for these homes.Having assisted numerous buyers in Little Rock, I’ve seen firsthand the opportunities this market offers.

And if they're valuing furnishings realize if the house is only marketed to a STR; then it limits the pool of buyers.

I went from barely breaking even to walking away with a very comfortable profit.This experience taught me two critical lessons:Never give up when the situation looks bleak.

I know this is a big leap, but any advice, criticism, or resources are greatly appreciated.

Quote from @Andrea Russin: A blanket loan would be a good way to spread the equity however it would limit your ability to easily exit one property without restructuring your loan.

Quote from @Eric James: This is why I build outside city limits.

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.
