I guess it's better to buy multifamily?

Otherwise it might be better to look at bordering counties, such as Madison, Henderson, Haywood, etc.

I have little confidence in turnkey providers, deals are already hard to come by, if they take another 20% cut before.. much better to buy a property from an owner that is in good condition.

Sometimes making a smaller profit and providing value is far better than holding out for a bigger payday on a bad deal, I like that.

I figured what better place than the bigger pockets forum to ask if maybe I'm not thinking of all my options.

Or are there other methods you’d recommend that could align better with my goals?

You never know who is on a similar path, has a similar mindset, or just believes in you and your goal for a better life for the family.All the best!

As you gather all this information, I would continue bettering the process and continuing to buy deals.

Well the bet I'm making here is that CapEx and repairs will be very low the first few years (honestly event he first decade), and once all the construction ends I will be able to increase my rent closer to market rent at $2k which will give me a better cushion.

I'm happy I bought this second one, but at the end of the day the first was still a better deal.
