My fiance and I bought a condo about a year ago because we wanted to stop renting.

I have been interested in some of the affordable C and D class condos in the North Dallas area. 

I have an opportunity to purchase a condo -- but it's in a complex that's "cash only" because banks don't fund in the complex due to an apartment complex purchasing more than 50% of the units (or something like that).  

Swanny here and keep learning, asking questions, find people with a whole lot of RE that has been in the trenches for a while now to learn from.I just started with one little rental condo in 2011 and am approaching 122 front doors total in 8 apartment complexes and 4 little single family."

I am finding it extremely hard to find a 2br condo or row home in up and coming areas under $300,000, so I've turned to lease to own as an option. 

You might have better luck in Huntersville and Cornelius, I have not really focused in those particular areas.I was able to grab a duplex in an off market deal that I am house hacking with a conventional mortgage.

I am deliberating two possible scenarios for myself in the future to continue down the path of working for my self and family as well as investing.Scenario:80k-100k cash on hand not in a rushOption 1 potentially:Find a older duplex 30-40k for cash with a higher estimated arv than the projected rehab, rehab property, rent, refinance.

I also want to purchase a home fha 5% Down for me and wife with newborn on Way, I can’t find duplex at good price that I’m willing to live in so may have to get a single house!
