Still maintain my CFP designation while spending tons of time with the young fam these days and managing our investments.

Is it feasible to obtain a loan or a good old boy agreement where a lender offers 100% financing for both the purchase price and construction costs at hard money rates, secured by a second position on the borrower's other properties?

To secure the construction loan for the duplex, I would use the entire property as collateral to meet the down payment requirements.Does this sound like a good strategy?

Both houses are new construction that was completed a couple of weeks ago.

Recently, I have been doing research into new construction and there seems to be so much information surrounding this topic.

I did a duplex renovation did fine. very strong urban core market strong appreciation, we see new build activity there, I would stay north of 104. we would build around there and we only do urban core or urban core adjacent in columbus. look at new construction if you can't find inventory you like. plenty of lots all good appreciation in the urban core, strongest rents.

Low taxes, landlord friendly, above average appreciation, and limited new construction.

Additionally, is it feasible to manage this without a property manager?

They then sold that and bought a 250 unit in OKC all C and D class and had to move there as they almost lost  it in foreclosure.. took 5 years of them living there and managing it personally to stablize and finally sell.. then bought a 20 uniit back in Oregon where it all started.. this over the course of a few decades.
