I have family in Raleigh, wife and I can't afford where we live in LA, CA so we're looking for an investment property elsewhere to get into some RE while we keep renting in CA, and Raleigh has that familial connection--who knows, maybe we'll move there but assuming we won't for this decision. 

Do you know how much it would cost to find land and build a 2-4 family there?

Hi All,I am seeking a small group of individuals to meet regularly and share learnings as well as analysis that we dig up in the single family home real estate market.

Single family or multi-family?

I hope to learn more about successfully buying and renting single family homes as well as section 8. 

If your agent isn't knowedgable they can over or undersell you and that will affect your costs.An umbrealla policy was reccomended to me by my agent (a family member) and in general I think it is a really good idea and usually a  pretty cheap option for risk mitigation.I don't have a specific company to reccomend but hopefully this was helpful.

I have a few single family homes that i purchased in the past couple years that i did this same concept on with purchasing/financing, remodel, and refi, but want to know if there is anywhere i can do the 80% LTV on a duplex.

your asking for 100% funding and that is rare to the extreme most fokls that get this funding do so from family friends or very close associates that know like and trust them. 

@Chance Covan I’d buy a small multi family and house hack.

Next, reach out to friends, family, etc.
