Ideally you find a lender that can do both loan types. 

Reminds me of the movie, "There Will Be Blood".

I like stand up comedy and superhero movies(I like the villains though), my favorite is deadpool.

Hello,I moved to Charlotte 9 months ago and am looking to buy my first property - ideally a duplex - later this year (if timing works) or early next year.

I spoke with one lender who is having trouble with it right now and suggested that I “buy” the home from my spouse as a workaround on the refi and to get the house in my name (ideal, but we could also do a joint if needed).

This demand is fueled by the city's growing population and strong job market, making it an ideal destination for real estate investors looking to generate steady cash flow.Take advantage of this financial opportunity before it is too late!

She is asking for a 4 year note.So my question is, since I am note currently in a place to keep this for four years (ideally) and considering that it isn't a "seasoned" note.

I agree with David Jayne's advice, finding an already renovated property & a great property manager for your first property would be ideal.

I've used listsource for marketing to absentees with mild success, but I have the capital and experience to do new construction, and I'd really like to work on getting a good piece of land for a good price in my area that would be ideal for new development.I was wondering if anyone markets to land owners and what criteria you would use?

@Mohit Madaan There's a scene in the movie Act of Valor, based on a story of a team of Navy Seals, that I think is worth mentioning.
