Well, a lot of life happened and now I am getting back to zero no debt and I'll be renting for now and I am considering a duplex to buy cash or maybe land and some sort of unconventional home but still purchasing cash.

I buy and sell real estate notes.

Just make sure you are fluid with this info on each property so you do not buy wrong.  

Are you looking to buy a duplex for your house hack?

Please see the rough numbers below :Tear down house price 350k,Construction cost 165 sqft * 2 build=627k too much for the land unless your exit is 3 million. don't reinvent the wheel. no single family home builder is paying 300k for land. that's miami florida prices where I live. we buy land 50k and under in Columbus Ohio. keep land at less than 10% of after built value.

I can't buy gas with a percentage.

Most likely trying to find a sucker to buy this and take over the costly legal battle they are entailed in.So next time someone is like "yeah just get a deed in lieu at closing", think twice about that.Actually, I use the deed in lieu.  

My personal preference for a buy and hold would be an already established area (or an area that's still gentrifying, but has already seen significant progress). 

However I have a contractor who I’m considering partnering with who wants to buy and flip homes in Baltimore.

For my investor clients, part of my buyer representation meeting is getting to know your buy box and specifically how you analyze deals, price out rehabs, etc.
