We are purchasing a duplex in Louisville, KY with separate garage apartment, and we will live in one unit.

Thank you for taking time to read and give your advice, we are very new and appreciate any insight!

Justin,Great, I hope the best for you, please let me know if we can help you, we are a small company that find deals for other investors and if they are looking we manage their rentals,  please fell free to contact me later this week, 

My group is a small boutique RE brokerage (I'm the qualifying broker) and we are a licensed General Contractor.

I haven't looked into contractors yet and we are using hard money.

I'm very much looking forward to leaving the snow shovel next to our trash cans as we pull away.As of now we are looking to do a short term rental or rent to own on Fleming Island.

Anyway, we are looking to BRRR, I have about 5 targets that are in the cheaper parts of the better neighborhoods.

I mean red ink saying " hey I loved the dress you were wearing after you came out of the shower...OK OK OK.. maybe that is a leeeel bit exaggerated.. but my point remains.Just say what you need to say.

Are there other creative financing options that we are overlooking?  

We are happy to have you :)Also I hoped to leave you with some advice: once you learn what the masses are doing...
