Half the battle will be financing.

I'm just getting started in CRE research and am focusing on understanding traditional financing.

If the deal is good enough (i.e. has meat on the bones), investors usually have no issues obtaining financing via hard money, private money or other lending options.Your experience will likely be similar so I'd recommend spending time/effort on finding and negotiating deals.

I owner finance 100k of the sale and did a conventional mortgage on the rest of the home.

How did you finance this deal?

I can advise on the financing part in terms on how to structure your loan and making sure you have an exit strategy that will allow you to continue to purchase your next investment and continue to rinse and repeat.

Would I have to have financing prior to offering?

How did you finance this deal?

I first lived there for a year, then the opportunity came up, for me to sell it.How did you finance this deal?

It will not add $500k of value and will have huge negative cash flow if financed at high LTV.
